  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Some models do have a bronze tint, if they are cloudy then you can polish them clear
  4. check at bottom of door where the lock pulls it in also at back of door half way up, it might need cleaning/greasing
  5. Your lucky I still have the panel off on my Gen1, the reversing light wire colours are; + red/black line, - white/black line
  6. 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
  7. Do a Google search for PCT Towbars
  8. have a look on ebay or aliexpress.com but you will need to have it programmed to the ecu
  9. 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
  10. This one does work . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155583959123
  11. 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
  12. What you need is a scanner with the JOBD proocol e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293956397780
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Yes, check out PCT Towbars they are the best and I think the only company makeing one for an Alphard
  16. The stop is there to prevent the seat coming to far forward and thus stopping the drivers seat from moving backwards for leg room
  17. Check for your model in the link then in the subsection , https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/alphard
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. Reducing is clocking it's illegal
  21. The seat belt warning light is also flashing, so fasten seat belts start it up and try again if odometer still flashes then you could have a loose connection on the back or the ecu is faulty, has the speedo been checked for accuracy, when engine is running is it only the odometer that is flashing and does the eml go off
  22. The whole mechanism has to be replaced as the cable is not available separately, look on ebay for sliding door cable assembly. what happens is the plastic outer covering on the cable gets brittle and breaks off and jams the pulleys and motor, if cleaning the runners does not make it easier then if you cut the cable where it runs in the channel under the rear quarter window it will release the tension and allow the door to be opened/closed manually
  23. Yes too much bother or not enough knowledge, the reader has 2 wires, one is for the aerials the other is 12v + & -, don't cut that one as you can use it to power usb sockets for phone chargeing
  24. Any oem aerials on the windscreen are for the toll card system, I had 4 on mine, the oem tv and radio aerials are in the rear quarter windows, radio offside, tv near side. the rear screen would have been connected to the headunit it was not a stand alone unit
  25. You would be better off fitting a 12v camera the quality of the pic and the angle of view will be much better than the oem 6v
