Yes indeed! Please do try to find that connector first though! Another thought, turn off the lpg on the button to run on petrol, see if it does anything?? I don't know, but may go quiet if its not on gas. The electronic one actually turns it off gas if the valve saver runs out. Its linked in to the BRC system. I personally don't think that's a good thing, but that's how it's supposed to be wired.

It's in a good spot, but I'm short too so it's a long stretch to the back of the engine bay! 🤣 Good job I've got disproportionately long arms!

Ah, never thought of that!! I've got the electronic version of valve saver system on our Subaru, and the red LED is just above the LPG button. If there is an electrical connector to your reservoir, can you disconnect it, see if goes quiet, and then bridge across the terminals on the car side wiring to see if it make the beep again? If I've got it right, when you disconnect it, it should break the connection of the float switch and silence the alarm- if that's what it is of course!!

Hiya! I'll start the guesses - is it your fog light switch? Is it actually a switch? Or just a warning lamp?

Hi there! Just to put a bit extra thought to the equation - are you driving with the headlamps on? And other electrical load items? Obviously the fuel system is a rather unavoidable one, fuel pump, injectors and ecu. If you are, then possibly that's why it never gets completely "off charge" / fully charged, maybe? My Subaru Outback has a clever alternator that regulates the charge voltage, not just on or off, but even without lights in the summer, it didn't often drop down to 12.5 volts. There was always something drawing on it, radio/CD/music player, phone chargers, wipers (it's Britain!) etc. But from what I've read, these Toyota's aren't daft, or more realistically not a pain in the posterior, unlike many cars nowadays! Not like those that have got to be told parts have been changed cos they're too stupid to work it out themselves..... Progress, ha. Or manufacturer / dealer profits on labour, perhaps? So changing a battery shouldn't be a headache.

Hi there! Have you checked to see that your radiator is full of coolant?

Good advice! I tend to blow any bits out with an airline blower nozzle.

Because if the car doesn't see the brake light circuit activated when the pedal is pressed, it won't release the lock to allow the gear lever to come out of Park! More security! Unless it's physically broken! The gear shift lock mechanism that is.

I don't use the supposed "top end" expensive products any more, just the correct weight and spec, from my local autofactors, and I buy in 20 litre drums - but we have 2 (older) cars, both on LPG, my van, 2.5 Renault Diesel, and our friends motorhome, 2.2 Ford diesel, that I also look after. Also don't be shy of changing more often than the book, IF you can do it yourself so it's only costing you the oil and filter. The oil degrades more with short journeys than it does with longer runs, due to the condensation contamination and combustion acids formed, and engines aren't cheap...... At least they aren't sooty diesels! They DO hate short trips!

I'll keep my fingers crossed it works for you!

Wow! As they say, you learn something new every day! Who would have thought a solar contoller would emit significant enough radio waves to cause that interference!

Maybe others are for a full tank, but not CataClean, its different. Please take a look at it, I've screenshoted one description from ebay.

Ah yes, depending on the one you used that could have been correct, but I know the actual "CataClean" brand is put in to a "small" amount of petrol in the tank!

Hi there! Without actual detailed specifics on what emissions are out of kilter, and just how far out, not that I'd know what it meant in honesty, I would be very tempted to try a fuel system cleaner. I have used "CataClean" in the past, not for an MOT fail though ,and it felt like it made a bit of difference, but of course it could be I just wanted to believe it! Perhaps check reviews of ait and some similar products? Best of luck!

Hi guys! I have recently had my compressor go on my Renault Master van, and yes I heard that rattle over the diesel engine! It should not be hard to diagnose that, you don't need any special info for that. If the refrigerant gas pressure doesn't alter when the AC tries to start, it really is very likely the compressor! On my previous cars and van, R134a gas, it's around 5 bar when NOT working and drops, to a figure I'm guessing at, of 2 bar when working, but will fluctuate as it kicks in and out.

Hiya fellas! Whilst I can't say from experience on an Alphard, I can on my Subaru Outback. There was NO DIRT in the bottom of the tank. NOWT. To change the fuel filter on this, it's on the fuel pump in the tank. Access is from the top, remove the rear seat, easy, remove an access panel in the seat "floor", easy again, then remove a top panel of the petrol tank to take out the pump and filter assembly. Also easy. The pump assembly has a mesh strainer on it, but there was no muck in the bottom of the tank on the, at that point, 14 year old 147,000 miles car. Quite an un-nerving time prising plastic bits apart to swap the filter section though!!

Yep, that's the one!

Hi guys! From my own, personal, and recent, experience with my 2 daughters, if the booster seat does not sit soundly on the bed seats, leading to it being able to rock, then I would reckon she is better and safer in the front on the booster if it is more secure than the back. Also, I would adjust the passenger seat as far back (and away from the air bag) as possible, and ensure the seat belt is adjusted for her shoulder height. My 2 outgrew the full child seats so that their shoulders were too high to use the seatbelt correctly with the seat, although for the lateral impact safety we would much rather have had them in those seats, so went to the booster seats at probably only a little older than your grand daughter is now. However, they were for the most part still in the mid row seats of our Grand Voyager, with the arm rests either side of those seats. Still only 11 years old but now over 150cm.

That's super! I LOVE your dog!!! And I am mega impressed with those steps for him/her! But anyway, I'll try to find it on ebay, and run the black seats by my Mrs and daughters..... heehee. Do you know does the head unit keep the full functions of the ventilation / air conditioning system, the options to set different temperatures for driver / passenger, and rear temp control on the front etc? Thanks for coming back to me! Edit: Ah found it, unfortunately we're after a 3.5, I assumed from your tag description that's what yours was, rather than the 2.4. But otherwise yours is absolutely gorgeous and would have fitted the bill !! I wish you good luck finding a buyer! Cheers, Nev

Hi Nancy! We are looking for a Vellfire, have been for a little while actually! I can see from the picture yours has a sunroof, does it have the two arrangement? And what are the seats? We are looking for the beige leather with L package mid row seats. Perhaps there may be a deal coming on !! Cheers, Nev

Yep, spot on!!

I'm a bit confused now, well a lot actually. "Empties at 200km" - if you filled up and then after 200km you've run out, as the fuel light comes on, what are 600 and 400 km to do with it? Edit - Just come back to this, and have I got it now - that display of 196km is "range left"? So the 600km is when you've filled it? If so, scrap all these thoughts and start again. Fill it back up, see how many litres it takes, over how many miles or km it's done, then calculate it. Simple facts on what it's done. The computer range is definitely NOT a good way to work it out, it's very much a computer "guesstimate"

Oops sorry, yes my mistake! So the hose from the brake booster SHOULD go to the engine inlet manifold - at least on all the petrol cars I've had, as I mentioned above!
