The Scottish Toyota Alphard and Vellfire Meet up in Lanark. Not a single vehicle the same!

[@stevekitt52]

Nice to see all these varieties. I really enjoy my 2007 2.4 and so practical, especially with 3 kids 😊

[@Cuttothechase]

Agree Steve. Also the vehicle grows with you.

[@allancarter3930]

I love my 2006 alphard fantastic to drive.

[@Cuttothechase]

They are truly amazing both mechanically and just so adaptable.

[@mikejames4540]

Can you use E10 petrol with these? Thanks.

[@Cuttothechase]

I use e5 in mine and lpg. I’m reluctant to push the boundaries with e10. Later models may use e10 I believe.

[@mikejames4540]

Many thanks.

[@Cuttothechase]

Always welcome.

[@BG-il2ym]

One of them has a 51 plate, I thought they were launched in May 2002?

[@Cuttothechase]

I have honestly forgotten when they were v launched

[@dannyinnocent9123]

Very nice

[@Cuttothechase]

A great event. They always are though.

[@Carrera-gp9od]

I’ve had mine six months , I’ve converted it into a camper in that time . It drives great but engine light has been on since I got it , bank. 2 too lean Can you recommend an alphard specialist in the central belt ?

[@Cuttothechase]

You don’t need an Alphard specialist as such but their is the Honda Garage near Abbey Hill in Edinburgh. A gentleman called Chris. Good news though … get a code reader with torque ( I have videos on this) and it most likely will point to the oxygen sensor failing. An easy fix.

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Cheers mate , I e already bought one code is po174 Only problem is it could be a few different things , my mechanic thinks it might be an air leak as it takes a while to come on I’ll have a look at your videos 👍🏻

[@Cuttothechase]

Run a live data test on the oxygen sensors. I think I have a video or two showing the replacement.

[@zoomed66]

What's the difference between the alphard and the vellfire?

[@Cuttothechase]

The Vellfire is essentially a version developed for a sportier market. Youthful styling, handling etc.

[@rtalbot87]

500w is 2 amps at 250V, but a 110Ah leisure battery will only run it for an hour or so. Be carful

[@Cuttothechase]

Now I have to say it is not in my vehicle but on one of the campers. They seemed to love it. I’m wondering how long it works for them or whether they run it off a mains input.

[@naush777]

Kindly can you provide details where in Scotland I can purchase a Vellfire. Trying to avoid ridiculous prices down SE of England. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 👍🏽

[@Cuttothechase]

I am in Scotland and struggled to find a genuine unclocked one here. That was 6 years ago.

[@Cuttothechase]

But the dealer not the car.

[@worldhello1234]

It makes more sense to import a low mileage one yourself.

[@Cuttothechase]

@worldhello1234 there are import sites out there but if you are unfamiliar with Alphards or Vellfires then you may find you have inherited a problem.

[@rtalbot87]

Wow, so pretty. Where are you.

[@Cuttothechase]

It’s the New Lanark Experience Centre. It is amazing but you need to come on a beautiful day like today. They have a ride through experience which is absolute amazing. You come out different then when you went in.
