Hi , I purchased a secondhand Fiamma Bongo/Vito bike rack from ebay £70. Then modified it to fit over the tailgate spoiler with some aluminium tubing. Just cut and drill inserts to extend the length of top fittings over spoiler. If you have access to a tig welder easier to weld, than drill tubes and secure with bolts. Nick

Hi Quelch, I bought a replacement key from ebay ; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-Remote-Key-Fob-4-Button-314-3MHz-4D-Chip-for-Toyota-Alphard-2005/331576219346?epid=841823142&hash=item4d337b96d2%3Ag%3Aq7UAAOSw87RaqM28&fbclid=IwAR3u9ufypXYFlv1pKU1IG7llXfGsIYaK1lLtfLpD_3UqN0KkAIpkxPVc2Sg programmed the remote easily, using instructions off off the net, and bought a Toyota Smart Keymaker to add the new key to the car ecu. You can get the key cut at any reputable heel bar. Cost in total , about 40 quid. PM me if you need more info Nick

Hi, found this online parts catalogue from Estonia, seems reasonably priced. Might be useful for some folk. Febest Europe Distribution. https://shop.febest.eu/catalog.html?brand=TOYOTA&model=ALPHARD&year=2005&body=ANH10

almost certainly CV joints, was common on the old minis

Contacted Toyota GB direct on the 27th July, no problem, the cs lady was very helpful. They are now waiting to hear back from Toyota Japan, who are verifying the recalls on my vehicle prior to authorising the work.
