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

It's rather hard to know where to start as there are many topics to cover, entirely dependent on what you are trying to achieve. Obviously there is the base vehicle itself with a wide range of customization's available but then there are camping-related topics such as pop-tops/ raised roof, rock and roll beds vs caravan style inserts, awnings both side and rear, drive-away or not, cooking/ washing arrangements, electric vs gas, tow-bar for bike carrier (towing itself is quite a debate), electric hook-ups, side or rear 'furniture', leisure batteries and I'm sure other areas. A lot also depends on budget - but mainly it's your own requirements and imagination. I have converted ours to have a fixed raised bed in the 'boot' under which we store stuff and, once the middle seats are turned, sleep on top. Its not the prettiest by a long way but it was cheap and practical. Good luck.

Hmm, having a quick look at the prices for these I am wondering whether a 2nd hand part from a scrap yard or doing/ finding someone for a complete strip-down and rebuild of the unit might be the way to go.

To make sure look at the 'plate' attached to the the B pillar - passenger side. With 2008, as with my 2005, the models changed halfway through the year though I think, someone will correct me I'm sure, rather than a facelift the model changed to the 20. Either way using the top line / Model information on Amayama.com will get you the right information. I found out the manufacture date from a CarVX report.
