Hi thanks for the replies, Yes i bought it with the intention to convert it to a camper in the end, but initially I've got the MOT, service, and now undersealing to do on my mind. this is so I can drive it about a bit and check all is well with it first. For the service, I'm not sure the extent of service to go to i.e., oil, filters, plugs,............even timing belt? For the MOT, I'm not sure best way to tackle the fog light, I also need new front tyres which is easy enough. with regards underseal do people use lanoguard? or is a full blown permanent underseal treatment the way to go? thanks

Hi, I'm a new member and looking forward to Alphard ownership - very relieved that my Alphard has finally landed. I bid on it in in January and have been waiting to collect it since then! Its a 2007 MS platinum selection? 3.0 V6 84,000kms 4B. I have imported a car before and took it for both an IVA and MOT so I've some experience, but it was much newer and German so more familiar to me to work on I guess. now I've the challenge of preparing the car, with all sorts of ideas running through my head and with this can I just ask, what is a best practice to do list on a fresh import Alphard prior to making it roadworthy? i.e. if this was on your drive what would you start with and finish at prior to making it roadworthy?, and where best to buy bits from (service, fog lights, how to tackle the fog light etc). I've fitted towbars on 3 cars so not shy of the wiring element if that is necessary. initially I want to get it driveable, with future plans to hopefully convert to a camper. but there's no rush on that part. any advice welcomed thanks. I suppose I need to order some bits first but wondering what is necessary. thanks, Neil
