  1. Could be, but Patricia does say other car is a write off.
  2. So Gerry, I just checked the DVLA. What section did you receive a Fail for ? Section 7.8 seems to be the relevant one, as far as I can determine. (I have not read them all !). Possible "Operation Impaired"; but it isn't, is it. There was no mention of the speedo having to read kilometers too ! Try persuasion then go walkies to another station and ask them first before paying any fee !
  3. Hi Jim, Welcome to the Forum Have you checked the members recommendations on this Forum ? There is a section for servicing.
  4. Hello Patricia, So you have an Alphie and want to buy another one ? Possibly trading in your current one. I think you should reconsider your direction. What would I do ? Firstly, I would list the niggly things on this Forum, and await responses. This Forum is exceptional at offering advice / solutions. Not always right first time but often are. You may be able to rectify your issues far more cheaply than replacing your Alphie. My only observation of your Alphie is that it has a four speed gearbox. 2005 to 2008 had 5. Later models models have 6, probably more on the very latest models. There are many recommendations, on this Forum, for the better dealers. Check out the relevant section.- If you intend to use your insurance pay-out to 'trade-up'; many informed members will advise you to go for the latest model you can afford. Good Luck and Happy hunting.
  5. Is the speedo reading mph and the odometer reading miles ? I think, note think, they are incorrect I would ask another MOT station what their view is. OR read the DVLA Guidance for MOT Inspectors yourself. VERY good and comprehensive. If yous tester is wrong, and you can guide them to the relevant clause in the guidance; they should admit their error and pass it. If you know they are wrong and won't reconsider, take it someplace else
  6. Hello Nick, Welcome to the Forum.
  7. If going wild, and using solar, consider your leisure battery capacity. HAPPY CAMPARDING !
  8. Try Youtube. Cause is often a dry joint, or no solder !
  9. The JPNZ Owners Manual specifies 33 psi. There is a very lengthy thread in this Forum on E5 or E10. Search for E5 E10 in the search box on your home page I respectfully suggests you read it as there is quite a difference of opinions, including my own.
  10. There are several methods for making sleeping more comfortable, as the bolsters can be a tad intrusive. I use real thin single mattresses, with stout cushions underneath. Others use self inflating air beds. Imho, single beds are better for hot summer nights. Some sleep under an awning. I have seen frames that level the bed, but could stretch the leather. There are shaped foam sections that can be bought or made. I use a dog hammock for our Sprollie .
  11. Looks really nice, just like mine. Take care of the leather is does 'stretch' quite easily. The answer to your question is very complicated, so I will send you a PM. Why do you want them to swivel ? Sleeping or Dining, or other reason ? I expect you will be absolutely delighted with it.
  12. Do you have Captains seats in the middle row ? Is your van unconverted ?
  13. Hello David, Welcome to the Forum
  14. Thank you.
  15. Hello Ian, Welcome to the Forum.
  16. Ads without a price do not meet the requirements. Please add the price
  17. This posting does not meet the requirements of the Sale section. Mileage and Price MUST be included. Please check the requirements, and add the missing information.
  18. Is your Alphie a Gen 1, or a Gen 1 facelift. I agree. This is a correct key for a Gen1 facelift, and is available on ebay. It must have the 4D67 chip fitted.
  19. Measure the 'space' very carefully and give the dimensions to Tanya.
  20. Hello Julie, Welcome to the Forum. There is a thread on here where members list garages that will work on Alphies. There must be somewhere in South Wales on that list. Trying searching the servicing section. Recomend a Dealer etc Good luck, hope all goes well for you and your Alphie soon.
  21. Your VIN should be on your passenger side B pillar. It won't look anything like a European one ! TA- NMH10 or something similar
  22. Sorry, It's eightseaters.blogspot.com Try that
  23. Hello Sylvia, Welcome to the Forum. No, you won't be able to change the language. Eightseater.blog.com is very helpful if you have that particular HDD unit.
