Wonder why the Series versions are more expensive.....

Good !

Nice ! You expect problems with the RDW ?

Hmm........ Know what you're saying.. I have the same situation but so far I have kept the 200 Tdi with the standard Series set up. Ideal for greenlaning and around the house, but longer trips..... Try finding a good overdrive !

What Steve said.

Depending on the window..

You're off to France - Me off to Holland. Have FUN !!

Thank you !! I'll call them tomorrow as they offer the option for dipping the thing.... Hope shipping to France is not going to be a deal breaker...

Thank you ! I tried that no but it didn't come up. Hope they still trade.... It was a VERY good one and love to have another one. Anybody has one they want to sell ??😄

I need another one but can't identity this one.... Thank you !

That was very nicely done - love that German interior ! I hope to add standing height to my OneTen soon...

Prices are not too bad IMHO

After a long term loan so a Series could be "Tdi'd" it was time to go and get him. 5.5 tonnes trainweight 600 kms without problems - just a lot (really : a lot) of rain..

Nice - well done ! I have closed sides on the OneTenand that is not easy at times

No, same rules apply. Most Continental vehicles will be LHD - but you still need CoC etc. Single Market and vehicle homologation are different things.

Hmm..... Vehicles like to be used. A trickle charger / solar panel can keep the battery charged - but the engine likes working every now and then.

In France, an imported Vehicle needs to be as it left the factory according to the chassisnumber - not your V5. No fuel type changes, RHD => LHD conversions are an issue to name a few.. The CoC is to be issued by LR France (https://www.landrover.fr/Images/Formulaire-Clients-Land-Rover-imports-VO_tcm286-681213.pdf) for most vehicles - even Series. For really ancient Series you may end up with the Historic Vehicles Ass. and in that case the vehicle needs to be 100 % as it left the factory according to the VIN. I will not to mention that rather inconvenient minor event to take place it seems later this year that could make it even more fun... Converting a Series to LHD is not difficult - it just costs money (and time) for some rather obscure parts to do it properly. And some are hard to get like correct wings, handbrake traverse rods, instrument panels, correct Bulkheads, steeringhouse to name a few. Also, not all chassis have a provision for a steering relay on the LH side. So, if you already have a project vehicle, see what the VIN tells you and decide if that is what the vehicle will look like in the end when it is in France. If it is different you could get into trouble and reconsider. You may want to consider getting a French registered Series and rebuild that - within the French limits. Before you ask - I live in France, have imported too many vehicles, make a living out of paperwork and it is getting more and more difficult, not to mention expensive, to immatriculate one. Even modern ones. Bon Courage !

Standard 2.25 diesel Series SWB are actually quite good and with some parabolics and decent shocks a very nice drive. The FWH were an option to save fuel while in "paved road mode" but if forgotten to engage from time to time not good for the various lubricated bits (diff / UJ's). IF you're used with Defenders and Disco's the Series will not be too difficult. A driver can destroy anything but in normal use the Series will do nicely. Any pictures yet ? IF France is the plan, make sure you have your paperwork more than good as otherwise getting a "Carte Grise" will be a challenge. Vehicle needs to be as it left the vehicle.

Koni Worked for our TIC parabolics for many years

Thank You.

Galvanize the thing. Now easy to do when bare

Very interesting and looks good ! What did you do for the disc brake conversion on the rear if I may ask ?

Oh well....

Nice !

Again, this forum and it's unique members have come to the rescue ! Thank you very, very much !! Now, it is just waiting for a possibility to come over to the UK...
