erico2k2 : Pls take your time with this conversion, no room for errors to be made. I believe it can be done successfully. Did land Rover uk help out? or other Landover offices in the US or Germany? |

erico2k2, I'm really interested in the outcome of this your conversion, but since you asked for opinions, i"ll give mine even though you may not like it. I am not a mechanic or a technician, but I can read people even from their posts. The major reason why you want to carry out this conversion is purely sentimental. While i agree it is your vehicle and you can do as you wish, I must say this shows how attached you are to material things and i dont think it is a good sign. You keep reminding everyone that it is an autobiography, simply because they told you it was like pure water in naija. I give you till the next 3 years at most and your affection for that vehicle will diminish considerably. Like someone pointed out, its not a classic that will appreciate with time, so it will depreciate quickly. And after regaling your friends and family of how you converted your RRSA against all odds, you will wake up one morning and feel nothing again for the said vehicle. RR will definitely produce something better than your RRSA, and thats if they havent already, so no need making this particular one any more special than it is. A wise move will be to sell off and buy LHD, its just a car and God forbid but if you crash it, its gone, with all the conversions and stuff. But since conversion is your thing and you have the resources, by all means continue. Its your life and your car afterall. 8 Likes |

LeJeun3:You are right its easy to convert as it has few orientations,however, the range rover sport and autobiography sports are same structure internally only that the autobiography is not kitted but carries its original body and it has a higher level of trims.In my own case the difference is the gearbox and I know in conversion we do not touch the gearbox, abi no B so 1 Like |
