Hi all

Many thanks

I think I will give it a go given its not a difficult job

At what sort of mileage would you be expected to change transmission fluid in a 2010 3.5

They are amazing vehicles. The engines are built like tanks. 

 

Its a Gen 2. You haven't said the colour but I think the majority I've seen are white. Be careful of the paint. Some of them, including mine suffer from the paint peeling. Its due to the primer being too smooth and is a manufacturing fault. It was a warranty fix but some people did not get it done and it wont be covered now, even is Toyota UK was interested, which they are not.

 

You are in the best place to get any help. The people on here are really knowledgeable and helpful. They have helped me a lot

I originally thought it to be black but once in daylight it was a very deep purple sort of colour ,its actually listed as a red though, people here seem great so far. Been reading older threads and gleaning a little info that I'm certain will be of use to me going forward.
I opted for this one for the velour interior over a leather one I actually went to view initially,it felt so much more comfortable than the leather,and having had leather for the past 20+ years the velour invokes some good memories 🙂 

All the best

Just like to give a big thumbs up to Drive Japan Ltd in Cumbernauld/ Glasgow area.
Went to look at a Black 2011 Vellfire and after arriving got to see other stunning condition low mileage and certificated vehicles.
No pressure at all from the dealer,left me alone to go in out and through the vehicles he had in stock ,all were in stunning condition and lower than normal mileage 
Though sorely tempted by the original I fell for another Vellfire that after test driving was coming home with us.
So a big thankyou to Carlos and his Mrs for making the viewing a pleasure and the coffee was good too.

So if your in the area and looking for a super clean beautifully presented vehicle give Drive Japan a visit,you wont be wasting your time.

Hello Tony,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Have it undersealed immediately, if it isn't already.

Undersealing is being done today/tomorrow, had a look underneath on the ramps and its like new. Thanks for the welcome too.

I'm really looking forward to my Vellfire journey, having just moved to Scotland I'm looking to be getting out and about seeing the country and having had a VW in the past and given their current ridiculous prices buying a Japanese import was a no brainer, where can you buy a mint condition 30k miles comfortable van for 15 grand in UK?
Off out Saturday to look at retrofit storage units and fold out bed unit, to make my travels a bit comfier, then its an inverter and leisure batteries next, hoping to have it ready for March.
Was looking for roof rails and bars but the prices are mental so I have a set for an Audi Q5 that I will look and see if I can modify and use a set of Thule or similar fixings to accommodate, clearly retirement leaves me with too much time on my hands 🙂 
All the best

Hi All
Just bought my first Vellfire G 2010 3.5 and taking delivery on the weekend, its a stunning looking motor and drives like new ,is there anything I should be on the lookout for with regards to possible issues??
Also can you recommend UK suppliers of rear dog guards(if they exist)
Its had a new UK head unit to the dash but the roof unit/screen is inoperable could anyone recommend a unit to replace it

Many thanks ,looking forward to learning a bit
