Luckily no smoke but all sorted now 👍🏼

They said they put in 4.3 Litres, that they never put in a full 5 Litre container, it’s a bit of a mystery but they said whatever I go ahead and do they’d pay for it, even if I want a new oil change so they’re doing everything to rectify it.
-
Yes, just been done
-
Cheers, got a mobile mechanic coming out to drain some and I’ll get reimbursed for the charge. I’ve already driven 230 miles in it so hopefully no damaged done.
-
Great! Thanks
-
Advice appreciated, see picture, oil is over the maximum, should some be drained, could this cause problems with the engine or will I be ok? Cheers

Informing DVLA - Camper Conversion
Peterm69uk replied to Peterm69uk's topic in Toyota Alphard Camper Discussions
Conversion company says it’s stays as is, an MPV as you state so all good 👍🏼 -
Morning all, having my Vellfire converted at the moment, it was a 7 seater, now a 5 seater, do I have to inform the DVLA or register it under anything else? Cheers Pete
-
All done Roger 👍🏻

Torque GT The Drum Business Park, Heathfield, Newton Abbot TQ12 6RY Happy to work on Alphards/Vellfires and many more imported Japanese cars. Had my rear bushes, shocks, steering rack and damper changed by them.
-
Just to let you know how my repair went, the mechanic changed it in 30 mins, he'd never changed one before so I linked the video above how to do it. He reached up without doing any of what the video showed but he was obviously pretty competant as a mechanic and very flexible 🤣 Good luck, hope it solve the problem 👍🏻
-
Always check the steering damper first as it's the cheapest part to replace. I had my steering rack replaced, luckily under warranty but it ended up being the damper.

Hi Chris, did you resolve the oil usage by replacing the pcv valve in the end. I'm having the same issue, 2 litres used in 3200 miles, no leaks, engine runs smooth, no smoke from exhaust, covered 58000 miles, its a mystery.

Windcreen wiper size?!
Peterm69uk replied to Declan C's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Cheers Chris for the advice, signed up to Amazon Japan, bought the NWB wipers, arrived in 4 days 👍🏻 -
Thanks Chris, I’ll give it a go 👍🏼

Had a problem with one of my rear windows, when I close it it goes to the top and bounces back down. I have to slowly flick the switch in small increments to fully close the window. Does anyone know what I can do or what part I need to change to mend this? Cheers Pete

I'm having all 4 tyres changed on my Vellfire to all season and I thought someone on here maybe interested in buying them, they're all in good condition having only covered 2800 miles since 29th Feb when I bought the car. Any offers? Collection only from Exeter area.
-
I’ve no idea, I was advised to use Car Scanner, maybe someone else will be able to confirm.
-
I went to change this, it's when I realised I only had 3 free changes, still think the £25.00 subscription for the year is worth it so may go ahead with that. Just to confirm all changes are great, just been out and lights come on a lot sooner 👍
-
Just wanted to say thanks, also to Picasso and Voodoo101, got the OBDll dongle today, plugged it in, downloaded Car Scanner which allows you up to 3 alterations for free, changed the sensitivity and delay timings, not bad for £3.70, saved me a small fortune I'm guessing on taking it into Toyota. Haven't tested it yet, waiting until it gets darker out but again wanted to say thanks and what a great community here 👍🏻
-
Seems the one you linked is out of stock 😔
-
Thanks Chris
-
Thanks Chris, Amazon has quite a few, I'll have a mooch later and order one. Cheers Pete
-
Appreciate it 👍🏼

Hi all, Is there anyway to change the sensitivity of the auto lights? I can be driving down a country lane with overhanging trees and my lights will be turning on/off with the slightest bit of shade. I've had an android system fitted so not original. Cheers Pete
