Wow, where is E20 used? If E10 can damage old seals (Viton?) one would expect a higher % would be worse. We got problems offshore with gas compression pipe seals, wrong spec supplied. Not good when it’s pumping at 350+bar 😳

Isn’t it strange that a method of reducing emissions results in an increase in fuel consumption? My Suzuki Vitara 1600 consumption deteriorated by 3mpg after an Esso fill up. A pal who worked in the lab at Grangemouth refinery says he not convinced the ethanol % is accurate. Yamaha stated that their elderly bike engines were ok with E10. Thank goodness, mine are 21 & 19 years old 😂

Thanks for the advice. I favoured the 2.4 also. We got lucky & picked one up today, 2002 model, converted 4 years ago by Direct Campers Ltd. Lovely condition, 50k miles, silver. 108 mile round trip to pick it up. Very conscientious lady owner with excellent folder with all paperwork. Extras included Fiami 2 bike carrier, stand alone awning, brand new porta potty🫢, extra mattresses. Without a doubt one of the best transactions re private vehicle purchase !

A cracker, off to East Ayrshire to view & it was too good to miss. Possibly the most stress free private vehicle purchase I’ve made. A lady owner who has moved to a Motorhome on the insistence of her partner 😂 The conversion done by DirectCampers and it looks top quality. Nothing amiss under the bonnet & underside waxing looks 1st class. Test drive up and down steep country roads had no minus’s. Deal done and it’s parked outside our gaff. Now you members are going to get questioned😂 Our radio only speaks Japanese, anyone got a phrase book😎

Greetings from a new member from north of the border. On the hunt for another campervan after a house to flat move rendered our motor home too awkward to keep. Experience has been a wonderful 4x4 diesel Bongo that did us proud, then a small m/h. Alphard ticks the boxes and although a Granvia fan I feel they’re getting long in the tooth. I’m well impressed with this website and look forward to exchange of info. Gordon Other hobbies 2 x m/bikes, restoration of a 70 year old paddle steamer & a much older Clyde river pedestrian ferry.

Can’t seem to find route to newbie introduction section so here I am! A searcher for an Alphard, have wheels, will travel. Gumtree has been studied until eyes are sore. Former Bongo, the Burstner owner. going back to campervan size as we moved to a flat a couple of years ago so parking/storage is limited. This looks like my kind of site!
