  1. Mas air flow is inside the air intake barrel, its a very fine wire
  2. Unfortunately some chips go awol and cause problems, other wise its a matter of soldering on new leds but first check that they are getting a voltage on them
  3. Nice solution, some one else fitted roof rails from a vw caddy long wheel base which allowed him to fit 4 cross bars for a rooftent box, He only dropped the roof liner at the edges and used spreader plates as well
  4. If the dash lights are going off when you try to start it then there is a major voltage drop, if your battery is more than 5yrs old then it could have a faulty cell, check all terminals are clean & tight on the battery, starter and the solenoid, if you can start it with a battery off another car then you know that yours is kaput
  5. No need hold the window switches, just lower the window all the way down at each door then raise it all the way up, no need to flick the switch and no particular sequence for doing them, the reset allows the windows to be open/closed from the drivers door. Have you checked the fuses in passenger side fuse box, No. 19/7.5Amp (Welcab), No. 6/30Amp Power Seat
  6. The fuel pump has a filter to catch debris and once fuel is added most of the debris will get washed off the filter, all petrol tanks have some debris in them. I know about E10, it should also not be used if the vehicle runs mostly on LPG, as for damage to the fuel system japan have been using it since 2000 I prefer to know how many miles I have left once the warning light comes on rather than rely on an arbitrary figure that is only good for when the vehicle is new, so once the level is low enough to trigger the warning I know I have approximately X amount of fuel/miles left in the tank, but I always fill up well before that
  7. Best way to check is carry a 5litre jerry can with you, then when the light comes on make a note of the mileage and just drive it round until it runs out, you will then have a ball park figure, I'm sure I have seen a figure of 5litres left when the light comes on so that makes for 65litres haveing been used
  8. Some models do have a bronze tint, if they are cloudy then you can polish them clear
  9. check at bottom of door where the lock pulls it in also at back of door half way up, it might need cleaning/greasing
  10. Your lucky I still have the panel off on my Gen1, the reversing light wire colours are; + red/black line, - white/black line
  11. You will need to contact the firm that fitted the units or at least the maker of the fridge. Owners manuals are availble on ebay or amazon. Tyre pressures on a camper should be 38psi, advise you google the 4psi rule and follow the directions and adjust the pressures accordingly
  12. Do a Google search for PCT Towbars
  13. have a look on ebay or aliexpress.com but you will need to have it programmed to the ecu
  14. No, handles are only above the other doors, if you look you can see that the handles fit into a recess in the roof lining
  15. This one does work . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155583959123
  16. They could possible do with a clean, the rear centre only works when you are reversing, another thing to look for is the connectors behind the bumper
  17. What you need is a scanner with the JOBD proocol e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293956397780
  18. Yes I know that, I did not say they were Maintence Manuals. Torq2u wanted to know about the seats and that info is in the manual along with other useful info
  19. You have to remove the head rests from all of the seats, slide the seats as far forward as they will go then pull the recliner lever and push the backrests backwards as far as possible, if you get an owners manual off ebay or amazon it has lots of useful info in it including the seats
  20. Yes, check out PCT Towbars they are the best and I think the only company makeing one for an Alphard
  21. The stop is there to prevent the seat coming to far forward and thus stopping the drivers seat from moving backwards for leg room
  22. Check for your model in the link then in the subsection , https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/alphard
  23. Which sensor, there are 4, one for external temp, one for the front heating/cooling, one for the rear heating/cooling, then there is one for the coolant temperaure
  24. Look on ebay for Alps being broken for spares then contact the vendor about selling you one, small items are not usually listed for sale
  25. Reducing is clocking it's illegal
