Hello Carl, Welcome to the Forum. Make sure you bag your beast before midnight !

Thanks for the photo. Which outlet is it ? The one with outlet on it, or the blue one ?

Hello Alastair, Welcome to the Forum. So you have no grey water storage tank, just an outlet pipe with a valve ? Do you know who performed the conversion ? I would try them first. There are several companies that supply spares for motorhomes and caravans. I would take a photo for them, and it would be helpful if you posted one on this forum. It should make it so much easier for someone to help.

I take your point about end of life. An advisory is just that; but indicates upcoming maintenance will be required. However, if the Tester fails the bushes the only remedy, except getting a retest elsewhere, is to have them replaced. Weather here, thankfully, is nowhere near as extreme as your location.

Hello Julie, Have your tried Topsham Car Sales (no longer in Topsham). They do, or did, specialise in Bongos and Alphards, and do, or did, have several 'spare' vehicles.

Hi Andrew, Welcome to the Forum. I changed your year from 1012 then noticed your profile is 08-15, but your year is 2008. Please correct your profile to make it easier for members to provide relevant helpful information in future

Quite stunning, and Calder Campers is one of the best convertors. Has it been registered yet with DVLA ? Does it have an MOT yet.

Chris.ac is a technical whiz on electrical and wiring. He is located near you. Perhaps he may be able to help

Hello Allison, Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome to the Forum. Lucky man

Ensure you take it for a decent trial run first; not just around the block. Check for fluid leaks etc, and fluid levels.

I agree with Richard.

Hello Marie, Welcome to the Forum. 32k is lot of money whatever the purchase.. Things to consider:- Are you buying from a trader ? I assume you are because of the 3 year warranty. Warranties can be bought; but check, and understand, all the clauses, exclusions, restrictions etc. If buying from a VAT registered trader, CHECK, 20 % of the sales price is VAT, and is unrecoverable unless you have a business. Is the van undersealed ? You do not mention who performed the conversion, or what type it is. There are good convertors, and not so good. You do not give any detailed information regarding any features fitted; thereby making it very hard for members to provide adequate assistance. Is it a rear conversion, or a side conversion. Does it having a hob and sink, fridge, gas, Electric Hook Up Have you done your due diligence ? When does to MOT expire ? Checked previous MOTs on the DVLA website ? Does it appear corrective actions have been performed immediately or in a timely manner. Have you enquired about insurance; many companies will not insure a Alphard campervan, so start you search now to avoid potential unpleasant surprises. For 32k I would need to see the Auction Sheet, and definitely have an AA or RAC Inspection Report. For the asking price, I would expect everything to be immaculate; another sign of previous owner care. Please supply as much detail as possible, and photographs would be a huge help for us to comment on. These comments are intended to protect your investment, not to put you off !

Welcome back.
