Subject: Your landrover
Message Hi - hope you don't mind me bothering you - I was searching for info on land rovers and came across your site:

I also have a hybrid series 3 running a 2 1/4 petrol converted to LPG. You say you have a 2.5litre from a defender in yours - did this drop straight in as a replacement to the 2 1/4 petrol? will it mate up to the existing series gearbox?

Cheers
Mark

I do not have much access to my Land Rover now, my daughter uses it all the time.

I do not have much specialist knowledge, I got Steve Graham, up near Hartlepool, to put the engine in, he runs a Land Rover restoration business.

Having said that he did not cut anything away from the bulkhead or move the radiator to make room but he might have had to modify the mountings. If he did then, so far as I know it was nothing major.

Again with the gear box there might have been an adaptor but it would have been an off the shelf adaptor because when we replaced the gear box I did not see anything which seemed unusual or out of place.

The best person to ask would be Frank King of the Series III club (landrover.series3@btinternet.com) or Bob at Fourmost 4X4 (0115 9442961). Although he has a Land Rover garage, not a franchise, he is very helpful when it comes to giving advice and would quite happily build you an engine although he wanted to put an Isuzu engine in. He put one into my brother-in-laws 90 and it was faster and better on fuel consumption.

Any ideas please let me know.

Sorry to take so long to reply. I am just back from holiday and have had to build a new computer. It is not the building that takes time but the re-loading of all the programs.

Changing Land Rover engines is a common enough pass time now so with any luck Frank King at the Series III Club could help you. Failing that there is always Paddocks on 01629 584499 sales@paddockspares.com or :-
Simmonites on 01274 833351 or Craddocks on 0845 4502 861, I have not used these two so I do not know much about them.
Good luck
Send me a picture(s) and I will put it on the website

"Cool site!! i'm just wonderd if you could think of a name for my land rover it's a series 2a with a v8 conversion. I have yet to finish the rebuild as i've taken the body compleatly off! but i'm hoping it will be a bit off a beast, what with the v8 and a holley carb. and all this in a short wheel base. So if you can think of a suitible name let me know.
bye for now

Stumbled across your site entirely by accident - looking for Nottingham Landrover Club Site... Very pretty. Must have taken a while. Nice red Landy. Cool... I am half way through a rebuild - ground up. Going nicely. Got it down to ground level - copious use of angle grider has helped considerably. Worried about what colour to paint it. Either Bronze Green (common) or coal fire orange. I have been canvassing opinions... any thoughts? Again, nice looking site.
Cheers,

All the best.

Nice Site.
There are 100 Landrovers in Singapore.
This is the most expensive place in the world for cars.
My mediocre 1972 SIII 88" diesel soft top costs US$20,000. It is considered a bargain here!

Message Great website.
I own a 110 Defender having been introduced to Land Rovers by buying a Freelander 5 years ago. The Freelander was a lovely vehicle but we traded it for a Nissan Pulsar !! Which is for getting around Sydney but we have a 110 for our trips around Australia.
I am originally from Loughborough but emigrated in 1990.
My other half is a nurse and was born in Heanor, her parents still live in Langley Mill and her Dad used to teach at Eastwood comp.
Great site

"Hello!
I am looking to buy a SII, III or possibly even a rebuilt 90 or 110 for import to America. I love your site and the advice on how to buy a SIII was great. I was curious to see if you had any recommendations for export companies out of England to the U.S. Advice on who to turn to or even who to stay away from would be very helpful. I'd like a daily driver to share with my Jeep that I'm driving now.
Thanks!
