My recently acquired AH10 came with only one, after market sunvisor with a screen in it. It was too small anyway and looked awful. I have looked on eBay, but the prices are ridiculous. Has anyone discovered any easily available (from scrapyard) replacements that will fit,or can be adapted to fit? Do any other Toyotas use the same part? I would be grateful for any advice.

Can anyone please tell me what should be in this rectangular hole just below the door pocket, and the matching one in the other door?

I've found the hidden screws. You have to turn the steering wheel 90 Deg in each direction to expose them behind the wheel.

I'm having a lot of difficulty removing the plastic shroud from behind the steering wheel. I have managed to separate the top and bottom halves near the dashboard but the end nearest the steering wheel just doesn't want to come apart. Have I missed any screws or anything? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I can see there is a hole in the spoiler to the left of centre. I couldn't see anything in it and when I poked my finger in it, I couldn't feel anything in there either. Next time I'm in it I will operate the washer and see if any water appears.

I've just taken delivery of a 2006 Alphard. I can't see any sign of a rear window washer jet. Did they have them fitted?

As a satisfied customer I can recommend Hayner. I struggled to find wiper blades locally but Hayner were very helpful. The blades arrived two days after placing the order and fitted perfectly.

I was pleasantly surprised to find my local parts company actually had two on the shelf. However, wiper blades are proving to be more of a challenge. They have the Toyota part numbers but can't relate them to anything they stock.

Thanks for the info. I couldn't find the part listed for my model, so I have messaged them. I will post again once I hear from them.

For several MOTs I have been advised to change the front left anti roll bar vertical link between the end of the bar and the strut. Can anyone give me a part number please. I don't know if they are handed but I guess not. The model is DBA-ANH20W-PRXQK. I'm also curious what the letters each side of the ANH20W actually mean? Many thanks.

You could use an OBD adapter to provide temporary 12v power from another battery while you do the changeover.

Thanks for the latest info. I'm hoping to find time to get back to the project. For now I am driving around with a large hole in the centre of the dash.

Possibly using a temporary power supply via the obd socket would maintain the ecu memory while the battery is changed.

I got fog light replacements for the reflectors in the rear "bumper" panel, from Amazon for less than £20 if I remember correctly. They have two light levels so appear to be stop / tail lights but by selecting the stop light connection, they make a good fog light.

I have been driving automatics for about 35 years now. Occasionally when I drive a manual I forget and wonder why it's not changing gear itself!! I always park in the same place on a virtually level drive. I'm inclined to think the last two replies are hitting the nail on the head. It's quite possible I have let it roll forward in park before applying the parking break and then selected drive with the transmission under tension. It's only happened 3 or 4 times in just over a year. Many thanks everyone. I will make a conscious effort to do things in the right order.
