  1. Yes just pulls out, do not twist as the holder will fall out behind, 5W capless or led equivalent
  2. That looks like a standard body trim but seems to have been lifted slightly
  3. A person in russia has done it by removing the standard trim/bumpers, see pics. You can get lift kits on eBay, but the maximum is 40mm without putting undue strain on the driveshafts.
  4. I replaced mine, I levered out the side with the R on it then bent the whole reflector up and pulled the other hand side straight out, I then filed down the serrated bits on one side of that tab, then bent it back in to shape, then pushed the whole thing back into the slots
  5. When I had a new key cut and programmed, the guy used a combination of opening/closing the drivers door along with turning the key in the ignition, no laptop connected, he did mention that the ecu will only accept a maximum of 5 keys including a valet key.
  6. Thanks for this write-up, I have book marked it in case I ever need to do the same
  7. As Rojie said, it is to help with parking
  8. To route cable to the rear, take the kick panel off in the foot well, lift the steps up from the passenger and sliding door, then you can tuck the cable under the wheel arch trim and fish it out into the storage/jack cubby,
  9. The tax always goes up in April, at the moment it is £345
  10. The main problem is that the cable frays inside the door as well and fouls the mechanism, there are 2 solutions, 1) change the cable/mechanism inside the door which entails removing the door card to get at the part, 2) cut the cable as close to the door as possible, switch off the power door on the dash, then you can open/close the door manually. Part available on eBay > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176509903974
  11. kseal can block other parts of the heating system, always best to find where the leak is. If there is plenty of coolant in the rad, and you can see it moving when cold with the cap off, then it could be blocked in the heater matrix. You need to warm it up then check the small hoses, feed/return, that are connected to the matrix near the bulkhead, if they are both warm then the valve is working, and you have flow through the matrix, if not then the valve is not working or blocked. If you have flow through then the other cause could be the air flap control disc is faulty, a known fault, it is situated behind the dash low down, above and to the left of the parking brake, a disc from an Avensis control will fit, but both units need stripping down and the discs swopping
  12. As said whole headlight, eBay is best, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146302066269
  13. As said already, they are not required as the beam is flat plus there is no marker as to where to place them, but some people put a set in the glove box just in case they get stopped, you can get a set off ebay
  14. Check on eBay for wheel arch trim clips or look in the link for the part number https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ANH10W/35395/body/6151
  15. From what I have read elsewhere, the units under the seat are for the tv and/or satnav, the CPU is behind the dash and the hard drive is built in to the head unit
