mite be worth giving them a call

it's a superb conversion , loads more power . steve parker used to do the conversion kits .
fuel wise it should'nt be that much different to a 2.25 petrol .
just be careful with your brakes .
oh and hello everybody .

i used to race an 88 with a cologne v6 in it, pretty much the same engine, they were made in both cologne and essex but the german ones had more bhp for some reason, yup. the steve parker conversion is great

got any piccy's of the racer yella , id like to see that .

you is a lucky owner.. i wouldn mind one of those... happy landying and welcome !!

somewhere in the loft, i keep saying i will dig em outbut im scared to go up there incase the doris gets me tidying it up

exterior is the word you are lookin for me thinks

My brother had a s111 with a 2.5l v6 which he blew up and replaced with a 3litre v6. One word- Fantastic! Power, speed, noise (the nice sort), pops on overun complete with blue flames out the exhaust and it even returned better mpg than his old 2.25 petrol. What was even better was that it was still classed as Group 4 (I think) insurance so it was as cheap are any normal landy. Have fun!

was that the one you alledgedly had a scaffold pipe as an exhaust fitted to

That's the one! Although thinking about it, it may not have been scaffold but a length of stainless "borrowed" from the the old milking parlour! The s111 ended up being traded in part exchange for my dads isuzu trumper and my brother has regretted letting it go ever since. He has though offered his Agricultural Reclaimed Specialist Exhausts service to anyone who wants one. ARSE anyone?

the pics are in the gallery now then

What a Coincidence!

I have just bought a SWB 1972 Series 3 with the Steve Parker 3.0 V6 converison. I haven't collected it yet (Saturday) but can't wait.

I have been told that 80mph is easily achieved an maintained with these conversions (not that I would go that fast, officer!)

My Question is Exhausts, the Steve Parker option is £280+ (mild steel to!) the exhaust it has is home made but by all accounts works as it just passed a new MOT.

But it is a bit restrictive, so I wondered if anyone knows where I could get a better system or alternatively could recomend a design or dimensions or even ideal diameter so that I could buy/ have my talented father in law fabricate one.

Thanks In Advance and Hello (Im a Newbie to the forum)
