Hi to all,  Just introducing myself as a new member. I'm Nick... from Steyning, West Sussex. I currently have a 2006 white Alphard. I've previously had a Spacecruiser and a Previa (self-designed camper conversion). Have to say I was impressed with the Alphard right from the start. I've had a couple of Lexus RX300's in the past and the quality, comfort and engine that sounds brand new.. (oh, and the foot handbrake!) all reminded me of those Lexuses. Looking forward to getting to know you all.  All the best, Nick.

Hello Nick,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Yes, try not to use the foot operated parking brake as a clutch !
