Land Rover

[Kat]

Hi All,

Hubby and I are planning to move to the Bergerac area in early to mid 2008 and , like so many people, I have a question!

We

have a 1971 Series 2a SWB 2.25 litre diesel Land Rover. This really is

a slow beastie, so we are looking at swapping the engine for a 2.5 TD

engine from a 90/110 Land Rover. Its a common conversion and easily

done.

Now my question...will this cause us a problem with registering and MOT-ing it in France?

I

know we need to get Certificates of Conformity from the manufacturers

of all the vehicles we will bring over...and this is already in hand

for the other car and our motorbikes (although the bikes are proving to

be a problem as 2 are vintage Royal Enfield bikes -1947- and the other

2 are a 1979 Goldwing & a 1998 Kawasaki, and C of C's weren't brought in for bikes until

1999!!)

Many thanks for your help!

I wouldn't. You will have no problem CT (MOT)-ing it, but it will be difficult to reregister. It is not impossible (but it will be expensive).
