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?

lol Nah but I bought that part in the picture from them and they have also offered the steering rack and wiring Loom, so Im buying that next, Im not in any rush so one step at a time.

yakuza1:
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.

Noted bro, but it might interest you to know these are the last of its kind and yes its sentimental hence Im taking this risk.If it works out well then I might have opened the way for others to continue.You willl be shoked to see howmany range rover sports are converted in Nigeria.

LeJeun3:
Word in fact is that the Range Rover Sport is easier to convert......... I haven't seen any autobiography conversions!! My 2 cents

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

Dude, stop embarrassing yourself. Different members have said the exact thing I said, Hausa language is used in writing exams in far north. If you aren't comfortable with that, write the body in charge of it.

Secondly, you are the one not bringing anything to the table besides arguments. You have argued with virtually everybody that commented on this thread.

Finally, stop writing nonsense all over the thread.


Shalom

I just learnt something new from you today
Hausa is used to write PHYSICS< plz what do one call Speed in Hausa or how does one write a chemical reaction in Hausa?
we as humans have the right to be stupid but you my friend is taking the pisssss.

ollah2:
I'm not the one quoting people upandan this thread. I'm not the one stupid enough asking for proof from people who served or have friends/relatives that served up north while sharing their experiences.

You should take your own advise and seek more knowledge.

U have brought no significant argument to the table or made any sense in total,all what you have said is what you heard and think/assume with no backup. Im sure there are people from the North reading what you are saying and just think you are plain silly.if not they would have jumped on my throat by now.

alfa0:
I believe there an angle the op is asking this question from
We are all going physics and theory.but I would have loved this question to get a practical answer.
I believe that if am going at same speed with u and I want to move past you without increasing my speed above the agreed speed,things like gear come into play for manual cars.
Am subject to corrections but am just thinking out of theory.

Speed is the rate at which you change position as measured.as far as this is same and constant nothing changes i n time.

ollah2:
How are you sure it's all speculations? Not one or two people talked about their experiences yet you keep quoting every body writing nonsense.

you are the one spewing nonsense, speculation is word without proof.Education seem to lack some of you lots like a car which ran outta fuel.

walexsho:
Which country's official Language is Hausa .... A Yoruba man will never tell you Yoruba isn't a local dialect just because it is spoken by a tribe in Brazil. Exposure and sound education goes a long way

It sure does goes a long way I tell yah

mvem:
...d way u talk means u havent travelled well...what do u mean by north?...u talk as if north na one state....not only northern states even speak hausa....u teach normally in english in schools wherever in nigeria but when taken to rural places u see students that dont speak english at all....dey use d native language to teach dem.....in north mostly core north like katsina,borno,jigawa, yobe, in the rural sides of d states people dont understand anything in englush and am serious....but u still see schools with students preparing for exams and ssce even jamb...d schools and teachers mostly help them....u dont even hv to go far, go to villages in delta,enugu,benue,abia etc u see students that cant speak english well or write with it but still dey do take ssce exams....i dey lie

My Mum is a Head mistress in a village school, one of the Okpe vilages, she travels from the city down there daily, They teach in English. Thats Delta state,Im giving you 1st hand information.
I served in Enugu state Udi LGA to be precised 1999 I thought in English.
Now I haven't been to the North apart from just traveling fru, what Im waiting for is someone who served there in teaching capacity.
Now There is a village called Nasco, I have meant a guy from there in London and his view are quite different from those expressed here.

ollah2:
Quit writing same nonsense up and down. Some guys have told you how Hausa is used in teaching these guys especially the far north which is where this thing happened. If you arent fine with it. Write the body in charge of the exams.

No one said that, from first hand information, they are talking about waht they heard or waht they where meant to believe, Im waiting to speak to anyone who served there or from there, until then its all speculation and stop calling my quote nonsense cos you come across silly by doing so.
PS.We are still waiting for you to name a country where Hausa is their official language

Elhabeeb1:
Not that I owe you any explanation but, more than 50% of secondary school leavers in the northeast can not speak good English.

so no one frm the NE on NL here? are you lot defending this SCAM mare sympathizers then?

lulufaj:
You act and talk as if you are not in Nigeria. How many secondary school graduates from public school can read and write? How many of their teachers can? not to talk of in northern Nigeria where the bedrock of teaching profession are nysc members. You seem to be ignorant of the systemic decay that has destroyed our polity. Be realistic for once my brother. Even if the federal government was lying, the Swiss government too? international donor organization's like the red cross too? haba

The lot Aids givers are just going by what was told to them by the Min of Infor, what else would you have them believe?

ollah2:
So everything has to be taught in English? Ohh, you think English is the language used in teaching in China, Russia, Poland et al?

No everything is not meant to be used in all teaching however we are talking Nigeria and English is our official language simple.

ollah2:
Hausa isn't a local language. Don't embarrass yourself.

Name one country where Hausa is their national Language plz

mvem:
...no dey act as if u no sabi naija....even for southern nigeria der are many places u will go to and students cant read or write or even spell der name well but dey re preparing for exams(waec)....mostly d school helps dem or write d waec for dem....u knw dis tinz happens, stop acting foreign....is naija

we no longer have waec, its SSCE. ABi dem bring am back?there is nothing like acting foreign its good to speak of waht one has proof of not just assuming.When you go to the North to serve do you use Hausa to teach or English, that was my question.

delpee:
Ask anyone who lives in the far north or those who served there under NYSC. Most students are taught in Hausa. Remember that their admission cut off point is always lower at all levels. The few who progress beyond O levels mostly learn English at pre degree level also known as Remedial class.

what you saw was different kind of school frm waht I could gather more so SSCE is same across the whole of Nigeria and teh scoring is same, we are not talking JAMB, but O level,if you cant read and write in English you can not write SSCE English, physics,chemistry,Geography,Economics,etc. Thats fact.When you served there where those copers in teaching using Hausa as thier lingual?

ollah2:
Yes they can write WAEC in Hausa. Matter of fact, they lecture them in Hausa and note that Hausa isn't a local language. It's spoken in some other western countries and WAEC is a West African exam.



Capish

OGA when was the last time we wrote WAEC in Nigeria?

shamecurls:



And some flat-headed dwarfs keep calling it a scam!

I thought you was smart

sooperrescue:
But in reality, a right hand range sport 2011 was sold for 5m in March because he cold not convert it. Plan well before bringing the car home.

I think that person lacked resources, beside I have a range rover sport Autobiography, people keep getting it mixed up with range rover sport,
hear is the difference in the pic,I know you deal with land rovers day in day out, howmany of these have you dealt with?Also I have found the site to buy all parts.These are the limited ones, only 250 made.
As you can see this is the ZF 8HP70 8 speed auto gearbox 3 ltr V6 and this has DPF .

sooperrescue:

skylinegtr:

brojero:
I'm not sure this part you bought is needed for the conversion, but do correct me if I'm wrong

Have a close look again . That's the original door handle for the said year . The drivers side has memory switches on it . It has a left amd right orientation .

Lexusgs430:
Oga, out of the big parts required to complete this conversion, nah door handle you 1st buy ?

Talk is cheap

A construction worker earns 150 dollars in Algiers and 250 in some companies no cv or past experience required, just show enthusiasm and readiness to work that's all.

That's is suffering still.
