If you are losing a lot of water via the pump, then you must have quite a big leak which would be obvious as there would be a puddle under the offside of the engine. There are 2 possible areas of major leaks. 1) Some radiators have plastic sides, these are prone to cracking due to age & heat. 2)There are 2 hoses, flow & return, that connect to the heater matrix these have plastic T piece connectors that are prone to cracking due to age and heat, they can be replaced with brass barbed 19mm equal Ts. See link for the pump part number, plus other parts, then use as a cross-reference on eBay https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ATH10W/43189/engine/1601

the cable is not available separately, but the assembly is available on eBay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354878093116 there are videos on youtube showing how to do it

I have seen people getting Dryrobe seat covers for their Alphards. I use a large cotton dust sheet, on the floor, as it soaks up wet/dirty paw prints but then my dogs have separate cages where the 3rd row of seat used to be, they are too big to sit on the seats

Some traders fit an electronic chip that converts the input signal to the speedo/odometer from kmh to mph. They also black out the K on the speedo so it just shows mh. You should have had some paper work confirming what the odometer reading was before and after the chip was fitted. Going by your figures, you have done 12,000 miles, is that correct? It could be a problem to some people as they might think the odometer has been fiddled with. For your own peace of mind, put your chassis/vin number in on the CarVX site, pay the fee approx £20, they will then email you the auction report showing the odometer reading at the time of the auction plus any damage, recalls etc. Some chips can fail and cause various faults with warning lights etc.

You can buy the red lights that replace the bumper reflectors

You can get red lights to that fit in the bumper very nice but you could have saved yourself a lot of work if you had bought the led lights that fit in the bumper in place of the oblong reflectors

It won't get damaged, the ecu will alter fuel/air ratio to suit. The premium in Japan is 98-100 RON. I only use E10 in mine and had it for 5yrs, it will also run on lpg when I can find any at a decent price

You will now have to reset the windows so you can operate them from the drivers' door switches. Go to each door and lower the window halfway down then take it all the way up and hold the switch for 2seconds

You may have to click on a save button in the menu, failing that try a new camera

The chrome trim is held in place by the light clusters plus trim clips. You have to remove the trim panel inside the door, you then have access to the nuts that hold the lights on, once they are off the chrome trim is easy to get off. The original reversing camera is 6volt so you will need to get a converter unit, available on eBay, plus you will have to locate the correct wire at the head unit loom to trigger it. When I fitted my Pioneer AVEC unit, I found the easiest way was to fit a wifi transmitter unit in the tailgate connected to a new 12v camera, both powered from the reversing lights, then the wifi receiver unit in the centre console below the head unit. e.g. wifi transmitter/receiver unit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/187285465898
