  1. I've just had a look online for the gold badges, there is an amazon seller in Japan and they have them listed at 9800 yen which is 60 odd quid but unfortunately the UK is outside the delivery range, maybe a quick message to the seller might get them to agree to post internationally?
  2. Sounds brilliant, thanks Gordi
  3. I will bear them in mind when it comes to getting lpg fitted, I was advised by the local garage to run the car for a few months make sure the car was mechanically sound before making the lpg investment. From what I've heard the Alphard is a reliable beast so I hope to have no issues with any car I choose. Underseal seems to be an issue as apparently in Japan they don't use salt on the road like we do here so I'll need that doing as well I guess! Have you noticed any difference since fitting the lpg, does it affect the power?
  4. Haha yeah, you would need to be at that price! I've not bought one yet but I'm looking at 3.0 2007 / 2008,I was quoted 1700 for lpg by a garage near me. I'm still waiting to sell my E55 before I can buy one and ebay is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to people messing you about! Does yours have lpg?
  5. Hi Gordi, thanks, that does make sense! I did see some gold badges for sale on ebay but they were very expensive, I believe around 300gbp for the set, I'm guessing it was just an option when the cars are bought new and doesn't signify anything to do with the model specs beyond looking different.
  6. Hi, I've noticed that some Alphards have gold badges, does this signify anything with the model or is it purely a cosmetic alteration? Also can anyone let me know what the difference between V and G are as I can't see anything that distinguishes them apart? Thanks, Sam
  7. Hi everyone, can you please advise on what areas to pay special attention to when inspecting a potential Alphard purchase? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA πŸ˜ƒ
  8. Good afternoon! I test drive another Alphard and with the weather we have had I'm really impressed with the aircon in the cars, is this a sign that the alphards aircon systems usually last a long time, I didn't want to get back out of it πŸ˜‚
  9. Hi everyone, what are the pros and cons of fwd vs awd and does anyone have long term use of lpg and if so did you have any problems please?
  10. Hi everyone, is there an app for this members club please? I've looked but cannot find it, does it exist? Thanks 😁
  11. That is quite a list, what spec did you look for?
  12. Hi everyone, I'm liking forward to getting an Alphard in the next few weeks, can I ask what cars people had pre alphard and whether they regret the change?
  13. Hi everyone, I'm currently selling my car and looking to buy a mighty Alphard! Any advice, tips etc are welcome. What should I go for with regards to engine size, 4WD vs FWD, thanks 😊
