Non hybrid , 2008 2.4s

Ok thanks. So just to clarify, 2008 to 2011/15 is the correct one for mine. Cheers 😊😊

Sorry the handbook.

Hi picasso, so what your saying is that the manuals dates do not correspond with the year of manufacture. IE the 2011 dated manual is the correct one for mine , even though its registered in 2008. Can anyone help,? I have bought the owners workshop manual for 2011 to 2015 for my 2008 2.4s premium. The earlier 2005 to 2011 manual is the correct year for my Alfie but does not have the identical specs. The confusing thing is that the 2011/2015 is the exact match. Why?. I am really confused. Ian24.

Hi, the one day conversion is a rear kitchen. We are having a full side conversion with Northstar and a 48inch rock n roll bed. That takes 4.5 days to do fully. We are heading there in may next year. I believe a rear conversion with smaller bed works out around £4,000.good luck. See you on our travels 😎👍

Hi Rosie, it was just a thought. Your probably rite taking it to the proper mechanic.🤔👍

Check out Head light sensor on the forum. They will help.

Try having a look at the handbook available from Amazon or eBay. All fully translated from Japanese.

Hi, had a quote of £270 from Lifesure. Both me and the wife are over 60yoa and full no claims. Underwriter Is ageaus.good luck.

Hi All

Just taken ownership of a 2006 Alphard 2.4 Auto.(waiting for registration)

I have a few wants but not sure if possible.

The Binacle is in KMH, I was supplied a little stick on mph monitor but would rather get the binacle changed..Can I?

Also the stereo is a complete mystery. It looks like there is a HD drive which is loaded with japanes songs, anyone know ow to change this or upload my own tunes. Maybe a complete new head unit but which one?

Smaller niggles, the front drivers door has controls for all the windows, however only the front windows work from here (guy I got the car from says they are all like this) The windows work from their respective rear controls. Is this an easy fix?

I did notice some of the other models have usb charhing points in the rear, I have the holes but they are blanked off (not sure if there is wiring for them)

I'm also looking for seat covers for the whole vehicle, ones I've seen on ebay only do the front and center seats.

Thanks guys for reading my ramble lol

Love the stripe, sets it off. Looks fab. Welcome👍🥰

Thanks for your reply. It's been 7 weeks up to now. How long ago did you send for your registration etc. Hope you enjoy your Alphard. Which model/spec have you bought?. Regards Ian24

 Swansea, where the sun always shines 😎 Not. Fab club.

As previously stated, they are both built around the same chassis and engines etc. The Velfire is I guess looks a little more sporty. I have the 240s prime 2008 and that looks a lot more sporty than the Velfire. Good luck you won't go wrong with either.😉

It's actually called waxoil. I'd is normally sprayed on. The vehicle will need to go on a hydraulic ramp so the mechanic can get to all of the underside. Well worth doing as the Japs do not use salt on their roads, so the underside won't corrode.😊

Hi all, just a quick query, I have been waiting 5 weeks so far for the bloody DVLA to send me my registration docs for my Alfie. Surly there should be a department in every area is England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Having just one is down right rediculus. Any one still waiting for longer than 5 weeks.🤔🤬cheers all.

Lifesure insurance. I had a quote of £270. I do have my house insurance with them also so that may be why. Good luck.

Still waiting for DVLA to get their finger out. Not had it registered yet. Soon I hope.cant wait!! Thanks for the reply.👍👍

Hi all, does anyone have any idea if the jap previous owners hide the spare key in the vehicles as mine only comes with one. I have bought a spare which needs to be cut and re programed. Any ideas would be great. Thanks all🥰

You would think that the older more experience the driver the cheaper it gets. Hope you find a good deal. Happy motoring 😎😎Hi all, just had a quote from Lifesure of £270. Full protected NCD and parked on driveway. Alphad 2.4s 2008 fully converted camper. I do have my house insurance with them so that may be why. Good luck all.😎

Hi all. Just a quick question, is there any club meetings around the country for next year?. I would be interested in coming to one and meet other enthusiastic members .
