  1. I could be interested in the A and B units. Do you have the curtain rails too ?
  2. I tried Adrian Flux. Hard sell techniques, major efforts to upsell. I normally pay my insurance monthly. APR at Adrian Flux is almost 40 percent. Forty, not four. Extortionate ! I had never heard of the Insurer (Markerstudy). I insured my Alphard, a Jaguar XJR (rocketship) and a Ford Fiesta for about £550 with Aviva. (APR about 13 percent) Alphard with Aviva, no problem, although the excesses on the Alphard ("import") and the Jaguar ("rather sporty") were a little higher than I had hoped for.
  3. I am a newbie at all this, but have done quite a bit of research prior to buying my Alphie (2006, MZ G V6) I believe nearly all Alphard 2002 to 2008 have swivel second row seats. there is, apparently, quite a technique to it. Check out YouTube. The seats I am referring too are the single and the 'one and a half seats'. Northstar do swivels for the front passenger and driver seats. They are not cheap! If you have the Captains seats in the front and second rows, as I have, Northstar say their swivels will work on the front row, but not the second row of captains seats. I believe I have a method to achieve a way of having the second row seats rear facing; but they will not be able to swivel. If my idea works, I will post it in the Forum.
  4. Well, I did it ! I was looking for a Bongo as a newbie to camper vanning; but bought a V6 2006 MZ G. I took delivery earlier this week and brought her home to South Devon. My main vehicle is a Jaguar XJR, and, I am delighted to say, that the Alphard compares very favourably with that (excluding the V8 supercharged performance). Smooth, quiet, refined; wonderful. Having already preselected a specialist Convertor, I am preoccupied with specifying the built. I love those front camera views, although not the overall (lack of) functionality of the Japanese head unit. Virtually nothing works in the UK. So that is a mini project too. So far, SO GOOD, and thanks to this Forum for providing extremely useful information which was invaluable while making my buying decision. Keep a look out for us, we will be waving to all Alphard owners we encounter on out travels.
