Thanks menace, I’ll look a bit closer for a full size one, thank you for your help very much appreciated 

john

That sounds perfect sorry I should’ve said I need the tyre as well 🤔 not long got the Alphard and when checking noticed the spare is the wrong size (17”)

would it be possible to check the tyre size, mine are 245/40/19 if it’s ok size wise just need to work out how to get it to Kinross KY13, 

if I can arrange a courier would you be able to wrap it up with plastic shrink or bag & label, (apparently won’t be accepted by the courier if not covered), obviously I will compensate you for any trouble, will let you know if you can confirm

Many thanks

john

Hi might be interested in your spare if still available, what size is it please I need a 19” 

thanks

Hi John, it was fitted by the dealer during conversion it was around the £ 400 mark , no DVD or CD it connects to the music on your phone,  Apple or Android, hope this is of some help.

Hi Mary, we got the dealer to fit the Pioneer unit into the car, seems to work ok apart from the steering wheel controls that no longer work, apparently they couldn’t find an interface cable for this within my budget (they quoted around £200+ on top of the cost of the unit) will have to do some more homework, we just got the car today after a lengthy delay following the conversion so still working out how everything works.

Wee update, after a longer than expected delay Alf arrived late this afternoon, bit too dark to see everything today but it looks pretty good, will post up more info when I can.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will definitely look into the one you have suggested

Cheers Mary 

Your welcome Mary, I’m still looking for option’s myself , charliec suggestion is worth following but I’m struggling with converting everything into English so will most likely replace the unit eventually 

john

That sounds Interesting especially if your within reasonable distance, I’m still gathering information on what I will eventually do so thanks for the suggestion 

Hi, I’ve been looking at a replacement radio too, it’s been suggested that the the best one to go for is the Pioneer DA 160 with reverse camera, had a quick look on Google and it seems to get good reviews

It has Apple CarPlay & Android Auto so can connect to your phone etc as far as I know.

Thanks Rojie, it’s great having someone like you in the forum for advice, much appreciated

Thanks Rojie

Is the 2.4 engine (2010) a 4 cylinder in line or 6 cylinder v,

Thanks Rojie, will keep you updated on progress

Hi Rojie 

still patiently waiting for an update on delivery!

Do you or any of the other members know if the ANH20- 2.4 engine has a timing belt or chain?

cheers 

John

Wee update, decided against the 3.0 v6 2006 and tracked down a nice low mileage 2.4 2010, will update with more details soon

Just joined today so thought I’d say hello, we’re looking at getting an Alphard pop top conversion for days out etc, we’ve located a very nice one, it’s  a 2006 3.0 V6 with 47k miles at a dealer who imports and converts them to mini campers, looking forward to picking it up it in a month or so.
