Alphard Welcab Sloper 3.5 lItre V6 White
Johnny O ·Alphard Sloper .mp4 Toyota Alphard Welcab Sloper 3.5 lItre V6 GGH20 (2012) Pearl White. 49,582 miles, ULEZ free. £19,995 I imported this very rare Toyota Alphard Welcab Sloper for my disabled Mum. Sadly Mum passed away in February 2025 when the car was still on the ship from Japan. I picked it up from Southampton on April 7th 2025 after it was MOT’d, DVLA registered and road taxed. I had it serviced and fully checked over by an Alphard specialist then parked it on the drive. The one Japane -
Starter Battery
Sunny ·My 03 Alphard 2.4 Hybrid E-four ATH10 campervan has drained the leisure and starter battery even with nothing on and now relies on a noco to start it every time. I've replaced the leisure battery and that had it's life sucked out within the week. The starter battery is under a captain's seat and I can't see what it is to order a new one. I'm well past my prime and only want one attempt at removing the seat! It had a new starter battery in 2021 but doesn't state it's details on the receipt. The -

Excellent garage in East of England
James ·Anyone in East Anglia needing a Japanese import worked on by a trustworthy excellent mechanic should use Mikes Car Room, near Tiptree Essex. mikescarroom.co.uk He replaced the CVT unit in my 2015 vellfire, sorted out a loud rattling noise in the steering and cured my sliding door issues. He also worked on my Ford Freda most effectively and at very reasonable cost. Having nearly given up on Japanese imports because of the difficulties of finding people who know and understand them, Mike has rest

Starter Battery
I have just replaced my AGM auxilliary battery with a similar battery from Tanya which is the red top one in the image. The Toyota manual suggests the battery should be an S55D23R however that is too tall at 200mm to fit under the drivers seat. The redtop battery fits at 170 mm and is what was already in there. Also the battery costs between £150 and £200 rather tha £300 for the S55.

Tire pressures for our heavy beasts.
Just occurred to me that my tyres are wider than yours, at 245, (18") so the pounds per square inch support is greater too.
