I have the Vellfire which is pretty similar to the Alphard , these are fantastic vehicles to own .

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

I have a velfire and trust me it’s amazing to drive best purchase I’ve made in terms of buying a vehicle 🚗

Your passion for these vehicles as certainly opened my eyes to seriously looking for one to own,having read much info from many people on the net i still have questions i need help with ,one is the need for some form of undersealing ,ie which type,is it something that must be done before it takes to uk roads,ie like now in february,which also i read was not a good time to underseal a car ! So i am somewhat perplexed as what must be done and when and if it does then what kind is needed,any guidance would be fantastic .thanks again .

Hi. Great video. For the UK market, how available are the parts? Many thanks.

Hi. Thanks for the video. I am looking to buy an Alphard which has been converted into a campervan (seems to ba a common vehicle to convert). My concern is the low ground clearance given that we will wanting to travel on small roads and ferries in Highlands etc. Have you ever found this to be an issue?

Hello - great video (s) on this vehicle. A queston though... If I folded up the very back seats (as not needed), coudl I fit 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes in the boot section? Thanks

Bought my alphard few years ago in Australia as an import, with 35K now done 200K . Only 4 blown bulbs and a leaking radiator within this period. One of the best usuable car in the world my opinion. Easy to drive very practical, very good economy 2.4 giving 10 to 11 litres per 100 KMs Very cold A/C. Extremely comfortable for passengers on long trips. I change oil every 5000Ks and drain the auto gear oil every 20K I prepare to challange 500Ks I discover the first series is more robust and solid than later more heavier doors etc. The gearbox more solid than later one though only 4 gears. U can change gears like manual 4-3-2 than reverse while tacking roundabouts. I was thinking of swarping to later alphards but this first series is so good that I cannot let go, though the less advance interior is ??? Also highly recommend the 7 seater where there is a walk through from front seat to 2nd roll then third roll, which is so important if you have kids to attent to , none the less dogs to carry. Tinting and laser shields and curtins are big bonus where a shaded interior from the sun and privacy not found in other cars. Best car on the planet.

Could you please advise me which year and model is the best to buy , many thanks in advance for your help and advice

Hello Where Did You Bought The Silver Cover On Your Door Post ? Thank You

would you recommend 18 or 19 inch alloys? just got an 08 alphard that is very similar to yours but i have the stock alloys on at the moment, also what lowering kit are you using?

How would a 2.4 hybrid compare with a diesel transporter for example .. in fuel consumption … many thanks

How much is a road tax for 2.4 engine 🤔

I notice you have a tow bar, what is the towing limit on these.

Hi Lubs , I take it yours has been lowered ?

Are these these vehicles still a viable option in 2023 what with ULEZ and the cost of fuel? I really like the look of the Alphard but I’m a little concerned about the longevity of these vehicles due to their age.

Hi thanks for video I have 2004 alphard the fault code I have is T30005 I don’t know please can you help me

How many Alphard sells in UK or all Europe

This car drives me crazy

Please provide details for New Acre Cars. As long as they are mot London based as the dealer's here rip you off!

Have been shopping around for an Alphard in Glasgow but I am a little skeptical of the sellers. In one case, the car had an MOT but no fog light…which concerns me. Really like these cars, and saw one at minimum spec that is fairly cheap i.e., manual sliding doors and does not have a reverse camera. Minor body damage too, but drives well. Wonder if worth buying cheap and adding after market bits? (Saw your video on infotainment update) Little choice in or around Glasgow it seems sub 8000 for an ok example. Newacre would be worth a look but a bit far to travel on spec. Any suggestions up north? :)

I love the way seats can be turned to face each other. Do they all do that?

Hello. I am Japanese. Toyota Alphard 10 models have engines of 2.4 liter "2AZ-FE" and V6 "1MZ-FE" 3.0 liter, and from the mid-term lot of the 2AZ engine of model 10 type, the engine was changed from a Japanese-made engine to a Chinese-made engine, and the Chinese-made engine is a problem. It is an engine with many points. The main problem is abnormal consumption of engine oil due to abnormal wear of piston rings. In Japan, some vehicles have been repaired at dealers due to recalls, but others are abandoned. The next model, the 20, is also equipped with an engine with the same problem. "1MZ-FE" does not have such problems. The engine with this problem of "2AZ-FE" can be known from the engine lot number.

I bought a Toyota Alphard 2004 unfortunately one of the back seat was moved without being lined up with marked arrow on wall of vehicle, now the seat is stuck and I cannot restore it to its normal seat position. Can anybody out there help me with this problem? 🤨

Alphard or Elgrand, i can't decide!

is it an economical car in terms of fuel?

Why don’t you show the front of the vehicle?

First thing what I will do,I will wash them 💺 seats.

I am sorry,, But to put the Alphard and Vellfire in the same bracket of each other let alone include either with the Toyota Sienna, is an exercise in futility. As someone who drives a Vellfire. 1) Imported Vellfires have 3.5 litre V6 engines, Far greater interior specs, 2) leather seats 3) massage seats 4.) av displays. 5) HDMI, USB and Type C points. 6) Superior suspension, 7) Very superior External Painitng finish. 8) Completley different front grill, side and rear trims which in themselves create their own identity. Reliability .... well that goes without saying. There isn't any car that I have ever travelled in that provides better creature comforts that there is for the passenger within a Vellfire.

Not many with cruise control 👎

Elgrands look better and drive better .... and have more of a cult following

3.5 Elgrand is faster. 😊
