Mr.Who Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Greetings all! I am going to swap the engine of the old 90, the 2.5 TD goes to a Series III, and a grunty Isuzu 4jb1 is going in, as told in a previous thread, and following all your advices and posts, I believe I won't re-walk the path on my own, I am going to buy a conversion kit, it seems to be standard, professionally made and pretty much do it yourself stuff. However, now the question is where to buy the kit. I have three options, all from UK: Conversion & Precision : £300 M&D Engineering : £375 Steve Parker : £295 I would like to know if any of you can give me some kind of review or feedback about any of these kits (or the companies who build them) before I buy it. Thanks a lot for your help! Happy muddy weekend! Best regards, LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 My only experience is with M&D who did the kit for my 2.8TGV when it was new. i had it 2nd hand. after sales they have been very helpful and supply of parts etc as one offs no problem, although they are quite ££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonky Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We have had two isuzu kits from conversion and precision one 6yrs ago one 3yrs ago both still fine quick delivery and easy to fit except the exhaust piece, we bought the first one with exhaust piece and it kept coming loose, we made the exhaust piece for the second one and that has been fine. The first kit still in use daily as and when we need 4x4 at work and the other is in challenge truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Who Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi again! Thank you for your posts, I am going to order the kit from Conversion and Precision, since they showed way better e-mail communication and their prices are just good. Actually, I am ordering two kits, mine for the short R380-4jb1t, and one for a friend to mate a long disco r380 with a 4jbqtc. Andy, the person who is dealing with me, is very helpful and bares with me and my everyday questions. M&D suddenly stopped answering the mails, and they are more expensive (yet they use ebay, and for intn'l buying, it's better). It took a week to Peter Parkers' fellows to answer an email, and just to say "We don't send anything overseas". So, I'm expecting to close the deal this week and wait for the kits to make the long journey across he Atlantic. I'll keep the forum posted with the whole process, someone may find it useful. Cheers!
