Hello from Perth Scotland

[Johns-Alphie]

Just joined today so thought I’d say hello, we’re looking at getting an Alphard pop top conversion for days out etc, we’ve located a very nice one, it’s  a 2006 3.0 V6 with 47k miles at a dealer who imports and converts them to mini campers, looking forward to picking it up it in a month or so.

Hello John,

 

You talk about 'we', so welcome to you both to the Forum.

 

I have the same as you are getting. Fantastic.

 

NC500, for you I hope.

Hello Rojie and thanks, yes my good lady is part owner, we did the NC500 a few years ago in our old Land Rover but looking forward to visiting some favourite spots and lots more.

all the best

Gen 1 V6 (until 2008) has a belt; the later Gen 2 V6 has a chain, I believe.

Thanks Rojie

Is the 2.4 engine (2010) a 4 cylinder in line or 6 cylinder v,

thanks

All the 2.4 engines are in-line fours.

 

The V6s are 3.0 litre and 3.5 litre

Thanks Rojie, it’s great having someone like you in the forum for advice, much appreciated
