Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.
I have a question which may well be unanswerable, but I’ll give it a go anyway.
After months of looking for an Alphard, I found one which looked really good, only for my missus to baulk and pull out because of possible radiation.
I got a VX check carried out, but it said very little about where the van was from or what the radiation reading was before it was shipped- it simply got a ‘pass”.
Is there a testing facility in the UK where I could arrange to have reading please?
If not, I’ll have to look at similar sized non-export vans and so far, I come up with nothing.
Just take a Geiger counter with you £50 on eBay, if the car gives a count of over 100, probably best to walk away, if your planning to have any more kids in the future !
My first thoughts are that you are worrying unnecessarily. I gather that the main manufacturing facilities were well away from the immediate area of Fukushima and it seems unlikely that someone in Japan has been driving a contaminated car for up to 9 years. There is some suggestion that contaminated vehicles found their way to Africa immediately after the accident, but not to Europe.
However, if you're really worried, and are looking for a van to convert, how about a VW Transporter or a Ford Transit.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
