Hello Joe, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello John, Welcome to the Forum. Car washes are quite inexpensive. Perhaps, as a thought, would you use the cover after the building work ? Perhaps for over wintering ? That would change the economics considerably.

I can probably suggest someone near Heathrow in Uxbridge.

I changed it for you. Hopefully now it is correct ! It is important to have it correct, otherwise you will not receive the help you may need.

Hello Ian and Mel, Are you sure you have the correct vehicle in your profile ? I think you may have a later model.

Hello Chris, I am sorry to have to inform you that you have purchased a limousine; not an off-roader. I would not even begin to think of true off-roading, even with a 4WD Alphie. Good dirt tracks maybe, nothing more severe. Wholesale modification of wheels, tyres, shockers, etc is very expensive. On standard wheel / tyre combinations you have only about 160mm ground clearance. By how much do you plan to heighten the van ?

Hello Darren, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Chris, Welcome to the Forum. Get your beauty undersealed asap.

I believe most of those engines used in the USA were made in the USA, and did have issues. Fortunately, these issues were not present in Japanese made engines as included in JDM imports to the UK.

Hello G, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Alex, Welcome to the Forum. This fuel debate has been ongoing since E10 was introduced. As far as I know, the FSE engine is not fitted to Alphards/Vellfires; certainly NOT the Gen 1 machines. Regarding the Gen 2, I stand to be corrected.

Your profile is set to Gen 1, pre-facelift. Is that what you have ? I am not aware whether the fuel tank needs to be removed, or not; the rails are fastened from underneath the chassis floor on Gen 2. As you say, Gen 1 are removed from above.

Hello David, Welcome to the Forum. ULEZ compliant ? You need 2006 onward.

Yes Daniel, VERY well done. We are all so pleased that your mammoth journey has been completed successfully

Ask Ben if he can check the offside rear geometry.

If you know the parts you need, Picasso will get you the part numbers. Please PM him. Just Google "camper conversions Barnstaple"

Hello Tim, If you are thinking of lowering your van; think twice. Or just replacing the oem parts ? There is a converter in/near Barnstaple. Try them, they may know a source.

Hello Ann, You can recommend a mechanic/garage in the Forum. Indeed, there is a section especially for that purpose ! Drill down the Forums tab, top left, to find it.

Hello Tel, Welcome to the Forum. Much reading to do, and knowledge to be gained, herein. Good luck with your search.

I think North Star are located on the Isle of Wight, unless this is another company trading under a similar name. Or am I confusing them with New Dawn ?

Hello Ann, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Kate, Welcome to the Forum. Try Jacob at Topsham Car Sales. Otherwise, this topic has been covered in the forum. Try searching for Bike Rack; search box is on your home page, top right.

And, of course, you will put your recent receipt somewhere safe in one of the glove boxes (I have two, I expect you do too.)

Hello Matt, Welcome to the Forum.

Epic journey. Here's wishing you every success on behalf of all Club members
