  1. As it is not being felt via the steering, then the problem has to be at the rear, so the most obvious would be wheel balance or worn rear axle bushes or wheel bearing or buckled wheel
  2. Genuine Toyota oil from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383571542591
  3. You can change the LEDs for white ones, look on eBay
  4. My odometer 2003 is in KM, to ensure the tester does not enter it as miles either tell him or do what I did and put a sticker on the speedo saying "Odometer registers in Kilometres". Check the certificate when you collect it to make sure it has been entered as KM as some testers have been known to enter the reading as miles or convert the reading into miles, both are wrong, they then tell you that it has to be in miles but all they have to do is write km where it says Mileage
  5. Cat part number is; 25051-28170, see link; but you could try some catalytic cleaner first to see if that improves the emissions https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ANH10W/35720/engine/1701
  6. Ingenious idea for the front seat, How old is the GSD?
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. When the drain holes are blocked, the channels that the roof slides in overflow. This tool helps to clear any debris https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317001966951
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. You can buy the red lights that replace the bumper reflectors
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. You may have to click on a save button in the menu, failing that try a new camera
  19. 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
  20. Put 38psi in all round, google the 4psi rule, follow the instructions and adjust accordingly
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. 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
