I think so yes.I also had those problems, that now your are facing. Unfortunately I couldn't find any practical person to get a real advice. These days Japanese engine prices are real high, Before u go for a jap motor please compare price with land rover 200Tdi engine. 200 turbo direct Injection engine is the best practical motor land rover has ever produce. Other land rover secret is the center diff lock LT230 transfer box. If u want to feel what is the land rover, least go for LT77 5 speed gear box with LT230 transfer box with compatible any motor. There r more issues, But if u want to be a proud owner of a land rover, you have to live with those problems. Remember, LAND ROVERS & WIVES are same, so you have to, cause its our passion. Have fun with your Landy........! regards, Upul

Hi, I think u can find all the answers to your problems from here, http://forum.autolanka.com/Index.php?/topic/5140-personal-experince upul

hi, Rs.40000.00 but 3-4 years ago.....

Replacing 2.25cc with 12J means changing pillow to headache. If you want to maintain originality, overhaul the registered engine. If u don't change gear box, go for 12J engine. (bolt on conversion) budget replacement is 4DR5 engine. (Easy conversion) Need more power and toque, go for 200Tdi with LT77s gear box good luck with your Series 3, It's a great vehicle to drive. Regards, upul

It depends on your vehicle mods and condition. For my job engine & gear box coupling nearly 2 weeks. Chassis repairing takes one month. denting & repairing panels, converting doors (Defender type)etc, took nearly 3months. painting job got 3 months. Made complete new wiring harness, for 2 weeks. assembling job takes nearly a month.

Thank u for your comments. Believe me, both 51 & 52 are absolute KANA shots. Taken from the first vehicle, and the person who took these photos, didn't Know even how to use a camera. Our first vehicle driver ordered him to just press the click button what u seen behind. Amazing isn't it....?

Electrics...... I hate that job. so I gave it to a pro........

Check 51 & 52 photos..........

total cost of the job nearly Rs. 600000.00

Nissan TD 27 turbo Inter-cooler coupled with Land Rover LT77s gear box and Discovery 1 LT230Q Transferbox .

Hi All, It's a sad thing that nobody reply to this topic, But I would like to share my Land Rover series 3 restoration project with u............ I hope you will enjoy this............... http://picasaweb.google.com/upul.premaratn...Oa6_vWlkZHynQE#

Hi, Anybody experience this lovely toy.......? How good or bad..........? http://yfrog.com/83sonimlandrovers1ands2g4j

It is an original body. even the doors are made locally. I didn't spent much as u think.........

many landy owners use different alternative Japanese pumps, its not a big issue. only thing is the correct size of it. In your case, you surely know that there are no leaks from the brake lines, my opinion is you have to replace your pump. If your pump inner sleeve wear or damaged it couldn't able to maintain pressure even with the new washer kit. brake paddle going down means leak of oil. if not outside then the inside of pump. Good mechanic can easily identify this.

I'm not landy guru, but I can share my experience with u. I think brake pump is the problem. did u replace the pump repair kit.....?

If u want to keep your landy as original as possible its always handy. But if u use your landy as a everyday vehicle and off road fun , my personal experience its not that easy. I've owned my landrover series 3 since 2000, and try my level best to keep it original as possible. So I've change many things to my ease of use, like power steering, servo assisted brakes, disc brakes all-around, dual air con Etc. Finally swap my engine and gear box. Now my landrover looks old but young at heart.................. So try this at home.....cheers......! http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7864/dsc000691.jpg

You dead right and sorry, I didn't tried to disappoint you, If have person like Rajiv, no worries.

Hi, Please shear your personal experience, what is the best park can have off road fun and camping lovers? any video clips or photos, which places to visit in the parks?

I already started my restoration project 3 months ago. I also had a doubt, about this conversion. But my mechanic is the plus point to me. He is the one who encourage me to do this. Now we are in the final stage.He made the bell housing with help of lath worker. I cant explain that in my knowledge. I supplied him, land rover and nissan bell housings, nissan fly wheel, LR clutch & pressure plate etc.
