Philip4x4 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hello All, Before any forum Mod castigates me for posting here I know this should be in the classified section but due to the 20 post rule I cant post there yet. I am looking for a pair of LHD headlight units for a P38 Range Rover 1999 I need the units to convert to French registration and hate the thought of parting with 200GBP+ each for a pattern part. Has anyone got a pair from a converted car or a scrapper?? I have tried just about every parts dealer and scrap yard I could find that deals in RR used parts, throughout Europe, and can only find one pair for sale unfortunately they will not ship to France!!! Also for sale after the conversion 1 PR RHD Headlight units for above. Regards Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEANO3528 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 The 20 post rule applies to all, in every section. However I won't castigate you (don't have a scalpel to hand) as it's currently more a request for help than something you want to sell.

DEANO3528 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Christine... Wasn't that a car from Stephen King novel...? Exactly! The damn thing used to keep running after I'd switched it off hence it's name. Still like it now, but at least I know why now. Just can't afford to rectify the problem.

q-rover Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I can see if I can find some over here. They will be LHD but postage will be a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Have you tried posting in the North American Forum? Postage shouldn't be too bad if you can wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Tried Holland? Google for Rangerover recycling or Janssen Used Laro Parts. I am sure they would post the parts over... Ah, slow day at work... Rangerover recycling and Jansen Used laro Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip4x4 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Bishbosh thanks for that if you can find any I am sure the post is not that prohibitive. Yellow thanks for the links had already tried Rangerover Recycling they had a pair but wanted 120 Euros each for them and were an bit vague about postage to France and payment so I continued my search. I also asked about the price for a 200Tdi Defender engine as a spare for my Defender and they quoted me 2500 Euros for an engine of undetermined mileage and again vague about delivery or payment terms so I think I will be giving them a miss at those prices. I have just mailed Jansen today to see if they have any. I am ofc scanning ebay across Europe as well. Found a pair of rhd lights in UK which sold for £50 each which is more the sort of figure I had in mind. I will post on the North American boards tonight. Thank you both Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisst2 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 no problem , hope you get them at that price cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip4x4 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Damn ...he just replied and wants to let it run......also stated a charge of £33.00 the pair to send to France!!! Just had a pair of Difflocks Wide wheel ramps weighing 26kgs sent for £15. Oh well have to join in the mad scramble at the end I guess....there goes my Saturday night...lol Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip4x4 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 One happy bunny here, I managed to win all three items that were on that Ebay auction so I will have not just a pair of LHD light units but a spare LHD L/H unit as well. If anyone needs a LHD L/H headlight unit with Flasher and bulbs for a P38 please contact me. I will also have for sale a pair of RHD units (no flashers) as well, as soon as these arrive. Message me if any one needs these I am sure we can come to an arrangement. Remember though I am in France so the postage will be a bit heavy.

geoffbeaumont Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 also stated a charge of £33.00 the pair to send to France!!! I'd hazard a guess that that's just cost price, especially by the time he's packaged them up well so they've a fighting chance of arriving in one piece.

Philip4x4 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hello Geoff, I guess you are correct but at the price I managed to get them for, compared to new prices, it pales into insignificance. Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisst2 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hi Phillip , great stuff you managed to keep the bid down then. I may be interested in the offisde h/light , mine has a crack in it , passed the MOT but may need replacing soon, can you let me know how much incl postage ? thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip4x4 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi Chris, As soon as mine arrive from the UK I will drop you a message on the price and postage for the O/S unit I will be taking out. Regards Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
