D4 LHD to RHD conversion.
Anyone don this conversion ? Is it reasonably straight forward ?

It would certainly cost you a whole lot more than buying a good RHD car..., you'd need to change pretty much the whole front end! It's not like on a Defender where you simply make (more) holes in the front panel I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I wouldn't normally have thought about about doing it, but saw a 5.0 V8 for a reasonable price, but it was LHD ☹️

There are people who import the 5.0 V8 D4 from Japan as a RHD vehicle, and the price doesn't seem outrageous, maybe 25% more than what I'd expect to pay for a similar age and mileage 3.0 SDV6 in the UK...
That advertisement is somewhat confusing. It refers to the D4 as being BOTH petrol & diesel!

Yeah for some reason on autotrader D4s are only categorised in the diesel fuel type... even if it's the 5.0 petrol v8. The description is accurate though. Only way to see the V8s seems to be to filter by engine size 5.0 or greater
