Thanks Rojie. Yea feeling very sad about the XJ. It’s a LWB and is a beautiful car to drive but my wife drives her more than I do and needs leg room for adults in the back so that’s why I’m considering a van. Good to know about the cam belts/chains! I’ll PM you the details of the van I’m considering. Opinions are welcome. It’s a vendor. Southwest car imports based in Plympton Plymouth.

Hi chaps, had a spot of bad luck and expecting my Jag XJ-L to be written off. Been looking at Japanaese import vans such as the Alphard, velfire and nissan elgrand. Ive got my eye on a 2.4 Aplhard but don’t know much about them. What’s the road tax like on the 2.4L and 3L? Also is there much MPG difference between the two. When is the service interval and do they have cam belts or chains? What mileage/age do they need changing? Any known issues with the Alphard I need to keep an eye open for? What’s the model range like e.g. base model to top-spec? The Alphard I’m looking at has aftermarket 20” wheels? Does anyone else have these big wheels? How does it affect the ride in your experience? sorry for all the questions!!!
