2007 black grey alcantara 52094 miles (83837 km's) waxoiled new belt and water pump replacement mph dials tow bar !!!!! hard to find 6500 if you are interested, then i'll take some picks when it's not raining (which is most of the time in wales)

no probs, although mine is going up for sale shortly if you're interested 😉

used pauls services in the past and found him to be very helpful, his agent in japan (sam) seems very knowledgeable and gave good advice. I found I was highlighting cars that I was interested in and he basically refused to put in bids as he felt they simply weren't good enough. overall I was very happy with service

we use a standard double airbed with a couple of cushions to fill the small dip in the middle row of seats. works a treat 👍

just outside Swansea, the wonderful Gower coastline on our doorstep 😊

Comes with awning straps so you can use it without having an awning rail fitted to the vehicle hope this helps👍

don't know what the rates are where you live but as far as i'm concerned, probably the wisest £60 I've spent. As already stated, they don't salt their roads in Japan so undersealing is not deemed as important whereas our roads as heavily salted

3. Is it worth getting the vehicle 'waxoiled' underneath? I've heard Alphards are less prone to rust issues than Mazda Bongos, say. no brainer...….. YES or at least undersealed can't help with the other 2 questions though soz

personally I would go with replacement dials that display in MPH as opposed to KMH. OK so the odometer will still count in kilometres but at least you'll know how fast you're travelling which is, after all, what's important. got mine from https://www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk/ I read in forums that converter chips and the like, can affect the gearbox so I went for the safer, non invasive option

Adrian Flux - £350 for a year fully comp with only £100 excess. Happy days 😊

or you could even go down the route of importing one yourself and save yourself up to a couple of grand (but it is a bit of a faff) 😵

thanks 👍

well I can only assume that Ben is on holidays as I still haven't had a reply, so with that in mind is there anyone else out there who can point me in the right direction for replacement dials ? cheers Roger

will do 👍

cheers alex I've pm'd ben hau to see if he can point me in the right direction
