I have a 2008 AH10 Alphard. Key ignition. I had one original operating key with remote. I have left it in Turkey by accident and my Alphard is now parked outside a friends house in Dorset. I can get my smart key sent from my UK address for tomorrow alongside two generic keys that I have already had cut (and fit the ignition) I managed to programme these to open the car and close remotely the car but they won't allow the car to start. I think this is because the programming doesn't reach the second stage of communicating with the immobiliser. My question is if I have the smart key and both these half programmed cut keys in hand can I start the car? Failing this is it likely a local car key specialist with these in hand would be able to fully programme the keys so it can start? Might this not be so simple because the frequencies Jap Import remotes work on compared to the standard programming a UK specialist has?Any thoughts welcome. My best David.

Yes, but I suppose you have the safety of Amazon returns, it says returnable within 30 days, and you can buy transparent UV protector that you paint on, it is not expensive. It was not the only listing for the same item: SZELL Car Front Headlights For Toyota For Alphard AH10 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Car Front Headlamp Transparent Lampshade Front Headlight Cover (Color : Left and Right) : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive This one was a little more expensive, used exactly the same stock photos but doesn't appear to be the same supplier. I can't see this item on Aliexpress at all. My guess is they are 'new, old stock' and no longer in production. The item probably sold as an aftermarket by China to Japan in meaningful quantities some years ago. Present volume means larger suppliers generally don't have them and just a few select suppliers do. If my professional polish doesn't work out then I am going to take the risk but it would be nice to know if any fitters here that think from the pictures it could be fitted. It would probably have to have a new flexible seal put around it.

Yes I tried Amayama, best they can do is the headlamp assemblies 'without the computers'. Both left and right for £1,472 including postage! But I think I have found the solution. I am taking them to a specialist polisher In Newton Abbot (who has much better equipment and materials than the DIY kits you can get online) he says he can get them looking very good again. £100 all in for doing both. Leaves me £1,372 left to put into an audio upgrade! But I also found this on Amazon: DOFFO Car Headlight Covers For Toyota For Alphard AH10 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Car Front Headlamp Transparent Lampshade Headlight Assemblies (Color : Left and Right) : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive £117 for one lens and £217 for both. No idea how easy they would be to fit.

Anyone found affordable headlight lens replacements for 2007 Alphard AH10. Only after an aftermarket. There seems to be only a few around and £200+ for two bits of plastics seems steep. Mine are beyond a re-polish.

02-08 it is a 2007 AH10 2.4

One repairer said it will only happen again when you go over a sleeping policeman and I should look at just getting a splitter instead.

My Vin is: ANH10-0190941. I have been quoted £300 to have this fixed and primed. Dave.

Hi I have a cracked front bumper. I could get it repaired. But anyone know where I might get an aftermarket one that will look a bit different?
