Arghhh, spose I’ll just have to continue with the stooping thing then - at least until age starts shrinking me too (maybe not too far off…)

Thanks for the replies. The struts won’t go any higher. So the only way I can get the boot to raise a few more inches is to change the struts for ones with a longer reach?

Hi all,

Only a matter of time before I end up scalping myself on the low-flying boot door of our 2008 Alphard V. If only it would open up a few inches higher…

Aha! Next to the near side damper, is this a restrictor to limit the height the door will raise to? If so, can I remove or adjust it? Can’t see any reference to it in the manual and can’t find any info online. Am I the only one with this problem? (I’m 6’1”, so not unnaturally tall!) I’d appreciate any light yous lot can shed on this matter. 

Thanks. Good to be here - and great to have this resource 👍

Hi, new Alphard (2008 petrol 2.4l) owners here. Thought you might be interested to know that we ended up getting what seems like a reasonable deal through Admiral for the following:

• Fully comp.
• 8 yrs protected NCB
• Legal cover
• No breakdown cover (have that already with the bank account).
