  1. Hi, I use the company in the link, he supplies quality parts at reasonable prices, just bought both rear shocks for mine, https://jdmcarparts.co.uk/collections/toyota?sort_by=best-selling&filter.p.tag=Toyota+Alphard+2002-2008&filter.p.tag=Suspension
  2. You can buy it through the link or put the part number in the eBay search as it fits other models or get 1 from a Toyota dealer. It is plain. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/7731048010
  3. You can buy the red lights that replace the bumper reflectors
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. You may have to click on a save button in the menu, failing that try a new camera
  8. 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
  9. Put 38psi in all round, google the 4psi rule, follow the instructions and adjust accordingly
  10. By the look of it, that retro fitted switch is not quite the right one for a series 10, see link for correct one plus it shows what wire does what https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165029893993
  11. It could be that someone has spliced into the wiring, maybe for the rear fog switch, and the warning light is getting feedback. Check if the light goes brighter if you switch the front fogs on
  12. I can confirm what Gamith has said, the toll card reader can be unplugged and removed, the power to it can be used for usb points if required, front fogs (and warning light) are controlled by the rotary switch on the lighting stalk
  13. Kathryn, you did not say if it's just the blade or the arm as well, both are available on eBay e.g. > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197316927881 for future reference part numbers can be found in https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/toyota/alphard
  14. There are 2 types of clips, the ones at the top push into holes on the trim then slide down onto a retainer on the door, the ones at the bottom fit into square slots on the trim then push into holes in the door. Both types are available on eBay; Top clips number 196877085828. Bottom clips number 384266009852. I have seen posts where people have used Sikaflex adhesive to hold the trims on
  15. Some of the prices people have been charged are daylight robbery. When mine had to be changed I got Febi bushes (TAB-226) off eBay and my local garage quoted for 3 hours labour, £225 + vat, unfortunately for them, it took 5 hours due to how rusted in they were, but they honoured the quote. Ideally, the tool set makes removing and refitting the bushes easier, the set is available on eBay, but I read that someone did it on their drive by burning the bushes out and using a homemade tool to press the new bushes back in. There is a set method for the final tightening of the bolts and if it is not followed it puts the bushes under stress so they are likely to fail quicker than normal
