    Sometimes the simple answers are without doubt the best 😆

    Yet another potentially stupid question. Looking for thermal blinds, when searching seems that most of the search returns are Alphard, can someone please confirm if the window configuration is the same on both vehicles?

    Looking very good, can’t wait to get hold of our Vellfire….

    Just need to watch if using in other countries with the frequency band you use. We have done the screwball rally many times and in the end it became so confusing crossing borders we all just stayed on UK frequencies 😆

    Seems the insurance comes under LV, so at £285 fully comp seems a fairly good deal for a start point.

    Has anyone fitted a CB radio? If so, where did you take power from. I’ve always piggy backed from the 12v socket fuse in the past, don’t have the van yet so not been able to investigate yet!

    Welcome, we were in the same position as you! Good luck when the new arrival hits town, sure it will be brilliant..
  9. Oddcouple
    Will dig deeper!

    Secured £285 with Adrian Flux, happier now!

    Yeh, it’s already registered and the conversion going in is being done by Adrian Bristow but he doesn’t normally do them as an advertised service. I’m feeling this is starting to become an issue lol.

    Had a look at scenic online. One question….as I can’t register the vellfire as a campervan after conversion I’m guessing they won’t insure it as a campervan? It will still be MPV on documents which may be an issue? Please tell me it’s not!
  13. Oddcouple
    Thanks for that, I’ll try not to harass you again!

    Yet another potentially stupid question…..not got the van yet but took loads of pictures and I can’t see any sign of usb or audio ports. When Ben coverts is there some sort of physical add on that needs to be placed into the wiring loom to act as an interface? Apologies for going on, just keep thinking about things!

    Seems the issue is as soon as I mention conversion it becomes a problem, which is frustrating..
  16. Oddcouple
    Thanks for that, decent quote from Adrian flux so far, but still digging!

    Managed to get a decent quote with Adrian Flux for £440 for both of us…
  18. Oddcouple
    He was genuinely helpful with great info. Just struggling to insure now, tried Jap Cover and as soon as I mentioned conversion it was a straight ‘no’. Fun times ahead!

    In the process of buying a vellfire, just tried to get a quote from Jap Cover, as soon as I said it was getting a conversion, it was a straight no. Which is painful….any advice?

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to get hold of Ben Hau who was massively helpful. After sending pics of the head unit, it seems it’s a bit specialist with the loom and he didn’t think it could be changed but he could put car play on in about 2 hours. Asked about android auto and he said he couldn’t guarantee it as he has had a lot of issues with android. So once we get the van, we’ll be off to Birmingham!

    We’re just about to buy a 2010 Vellfire, keep seeing Ben Hau being mentioned and as far as I can work out, sorting the radio without changing the head unit? Any info would be very much appreciated!
  22. Oddcouple
    We certainly hope so!
  23. Oddcouple
    We went out for a drive today to look at a couple of Elgrands, somehow we just bought a 2010 3.5 Vellfire. Be prepared for many questions on the forum!
