My only bit of advice is that you may well need a towing towing board with the indicators on as the bikes may block peoples views of your lights. Do a search for 'Trailer Lighting Board' and you will see what I mean. For that you will need the correct socket fitted to the tow-bar and wired up of course. Depending on the bike holder of course as it's possible that your choice may come with one (i.e. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186953766202?toolid=20006&customid=d8060248dcab192c6bdd68906f30c7dc%7C%7C&loc_physical_ms=162565. There are some bike holders that pull out to make accessing the rear door easier. Search for 'Tilting and Folding Bike Rack' or there are some towbars that swivel out of the way, though getting one to fit an Alphard may not be possible. I hope this helps.

Looks like I will be doing mine fairly soon. I found this video which goes through a lot of it, though it finishes before it's all put back together.

Also use a JOBD reader to see what codes come up.

If that's what's on the existing one then go with that, but if not (i.e. they have looked up a similar, but not the same vehicle) then there could well be several options - I am not an expert by any means hence the putting your vehicle details into amayama.com to check. I have noticed one easy difference between the two numbers we have so far - one has 7 grooves and the other has 8, so a check of the installed one, or it's belt, could give you some confirmation. Good luck. I hope that helps.

It looks like you will need to search around for 88320-28350 (or 88320-28410) but check with amayama.com first with your vehicle details to make sure you get the correct number - or if you can find the part number on the one in your vehicle that is another route. After that try ebay or similar (https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/8832028350) for one, or someone scrapping an alphard. Hope this helps

I assume that the fuse has been checked, a 12v feed ran direct to the horn to test it and an OBD read doesn't show any relevant codes? Given that it could be the switch in the steering wheel, the cabling or an earth issue. I would check amayama.com for the part number(s) you are after and either order from them, which may take a while, or find somewhere more local such as ebay etc. On mine there looks to be two of them as well - a low and a high tone:

Well I sort of have some pictures but I don't tend to bother when setting up. With the series 10 you can turn the middle seats around. I have created an elevated floor for the 'boot', having taken out the rear-most seats and I have some rubber/ foam mattresses that I can put on top. I have some wedges that fit the middle seats to prop up the wooden sections to make them mostly level: On top of the rubber mats we have inflatable mattresses and duvets on top. Under the elevated floor we can keep things of course: So usually I am driving a 5-seater but when camping it's just the two of us. I have since bought a tail-gate tent, foldable beds and chairs so we can sleep outside the van if we want as my wife finds it awkward to climb on top of the platform/ mat/ mattress/ duvet combo. We could probably cut down on the layers but it's certainly comfortable.

That sounds like what I was getting before I cleaned the MAF (made no difference) and then replaced the sensor in the exhaust manifold. If you have an OBD reader (JOBD for these vehicles) then take a look at the codes to see where the issue is. There are a number of threads covering 'lambda'. 'sensor', 'O2' or 'Oxygen', 'P0171, 'system too lean (bank 1)' and the like. With mine I struggled to get the replacement sensor in as the previous mechanic had stripped the threads on the exhaust manifold - the below thread follows that.

By the looks of things the bumper has been pulled apart - can it be clipped back in again? It's possible you only need to do that or maybe replace some pop-studs or something.

It looks like part number 42601C is worth looking for but there are three types on Amayama.com for my 2005 facelift version, yours may well be different. Once you have the right number you can order from them or look on other popular websites. There may be scrap(pies/ yards) that may have them also.

Amazon seem to have a few: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=toyota+alphard+wind+deflectors&rh=p_n_g-101015610657111%3A100850145031&dc=&gb=2&hvexpln=0&hvocijid=11923901335076942944--&hvqmt=e&mcid=fed1ebe34d073e6a960af0c2347c1c4e&rnid=100850125031&tag=mh0a9-21&ds=v1%3ABMKzTS%2Bkt2Tmu7m6RWfL4EBir4CF8%2Bh2Uwga0w50ZR0 As do Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-alphard-wind-deflectors.html Obviously check any of them to make sure they are right for your vehicle. Or there are always scrappies, if you can find any near you. I hope this helps.

I haven't found out anything about the unit myself but the label would suggest it's part of the immobiliser set-up so I would say it's needed if you want to start the vehicle. Maybe someone will be able to identify it.

Looks like Amayama has new ones for £90:

Have you tried an OBD scan? If not I would invest in a JOBD scanner which gives you a good chance of finding out what is wrong. There are threads in this forum (other fora are available) dealing with JOBD scanners. For the really keen there is the Techstream software option available. Personally I would get some Reddex and put that in the tank and go for a good drive to see if that helps.

The genuine ones can be found on Amayama: Or you can look around for part number 81911-28010. Getting one locally will save waiting for a couple of weeks. I hope this helps. Paul
