Ali Zafar Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hello guys!! Hope all of you are doing great! I need some help! I have a Defender TD5 2001 110 crew cab. Its left hand drive at the moment and I need to convert it to right hand drive. I don't know what new parts i will be needing and which old ones can be utilized. If any one has done this before or if they know what I'm going to need, please help me. Or if there is some one who can sells all the parts in a shape of a conversion kit. I will really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I do not know where you are located, but as you probably do not have a use for the LHD parts anymore, I would be interested. From memory, and there could be more parts needed: Swivel house Steering box and some of the rods/components Heater assembly Dash Handbrake assembly Wiper assembly I believe there is a topic on this. Check the Tech Archive forum, as most questions related to this are to change RHD into LHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6cyltdi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think if you have a dig around on here there are people wanting to make the change the other way around.... I would suggest getting in touch with them and doing a swap/ exchanging parts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would some one know a dismantler who can supply the parts needed for the conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, remember to change front suspensions too. The ones at driver's side are a bit stiffer than the others. Conversions from RHD to LHD are common here in Italy on imported vehicles, is a big job, but worth if you are planning to keep the Land for a long time.

In the last 2-3 months of LRM magazine there has been a write up of Lindsay Porter's 110 TD5 CSW being converted LHD to RHD and the parts list is very extensive including new bulkhead etc. Maybe worth the cost of a few back copies and the current mag to read what's involved. His was done by Nene Overland, so I suspect they would have a parts listing and a good idea of costs involved. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a few tips for those considering a bulkhead swap of any type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
