Just saying hello

[David grime]

Hi my name is Dave for the Scottish Borders. I have just joined in anticipation of purchasing a Alphard in next 12 months.  So thought I would get a few ideas on issues,advice, etc in advance. Been researching these for a couple of years now and have seen or read about the most common issues. Just wondered if anyone knows if the 4x4 model is a true 4wd or just a awd. Obviously there is a big difference between the two.
