I stand corrected, caught out by the 'S'

Second row of seats are pretty easy, if you look where the seats meet the rails there are 4x plastic caps that cover the bolts that fix the seats to the sliders(per seat). Simply remove the caps, unbolt and lift the seats out. Third row of seats are also quite simple, unclip the seats as if you were folding them away. Next, where the seat meets the side of the vehicle there is a hinge bracket that bolts into another slider. This is hidden under a plastic & rubber flap trim. Remove the flap trim and undo the 2x bolts per seat bracket. Now, I found getting the floor sliders out a complete PITA. Carpets out, sound deadening out, unbolt the rails, slide the slider cassettes out and re assemble. Hope this is of help.

Correct, auto headlights. Albeit from my experience it needs to be pretty much fully dark for this function to work.

I understand that standard 95 octane fuel is due to be phased out soon. Typically the Alphard is not listed on gov E10 fuel checker website. By my reckoning the 3.0 1MZ-FE is ok on E10 fuel, however it appears that the 2.4 2AZ-FE is not compatible. In which case it looks like all of you 2.4 drivers need to fill up on super unleaded from later in the summer. https://check-vehicle-compatibility-e10-petrol.service.gov.uk/manufacturer/

My one does, in the bottom left had corner of the head unit.

Once you have got them clear, get them lacquered. It'll stop them from re-yellowing.

Thanks Guys - Have tried the Bongo chap several times before, but he never seems to answer the phone. Have found an independent Toyota specialist in Bodmin, but that's still 35 odd miles away from me, hoping to find somewhere a little closer if possible.

I found the cables to be prohibitively expensive, so went down a slightly different route by fitting one of these: https://kenwoodshop.co.uk/products/ktc500dab?variant=35095037608087&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwLKFBhDPARIsAPzPi-LNg38AW2gfKV_T3rq80_W_Zgx-iyok5wIGTZD2kB4nXAJlbdtbtycaAnQsEALw_wcB Hands free phone, bluetooth music, DAB radio and you still get to keep your OE cameras.

Sorry, that's for re-fitting Removal, slide forward and rotate up. Fingers crossed it'll come off in one piece.

These are REALLY hard to get off without breaking. I had to replace mine, which I almost broke when fitting. Just a case of taking your time and being patient. It sort of slides back and rotates into place, however the clip is really hard to disengage. Managed to get the replacement off eBay, although it had to come all the way from Dubai for about £25.

Hi All, I have had my Alphard for just over a year now, its great apart from all of the noises. is it possible to turn off the following: Key in / drivers door open chime. Power sliding rear doors opening / closing chime. Internal reversing beeper. Locking chime. Its an 2006 Alphard V V6. Love the vehicle, but the noises are driving me crazy!

Can anyone recommend a garage in Cornwall? I need to get the timing belt done on my 2006 3.0 v6 - everyone I usually use wont touch it!

This is really helpful, don't suppose you have a list of the appropriate torque settings?
