Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by MCool: 3:54am On Mar 10, 2008
do you know a reputable company that convert right hand drive truck (daf leyla nd) uk to left hand drive?
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by showbobo(m): 10:56am On Mar 10, 2008
check at ladipo
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by Nobody: 11:04am On Mar 10, 2008
And MCool, always state your location, when making such enquiries.

Advice you'll be given tends to depend on where you are. . .
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by MCool: 3:41pm On Mar 10, 2008
I am in Lagos, where in Ladipo. Also, do you think it can be done perfectly?

Thanks
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by Nobody: 6:12pm On Mar 10, 2008
Converted perfectly, in Lagos? shocked

Well, it'll be converted all right, as for the quality of workmanship, I couldn't vouch for.

I have a friend who used to buy cars and vans from the UK, and have them converted in Nigeria. The pictures he sent me said it all - terrible.

The last ones he sent out, over a year ago, were converted by my own fair hands. There's such a thing as taking pride in your work, but unfortunately, most don't. They just bang them out as quickly as they can, and the results speak for themselves.

Still, the Ladipo guy might be pretty good, be an enthusiast, as well as an engineer. . .

The ladipo BOYS can do an excellent job for you especially BUSES,

Make sure they get the necessary things in place and your car will be in best condition.
Trust me most cars in dealers shops are converted , neatly brought in from Japan, singapore and the UK
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by MCool: 11:03am On Mar 12, 2008
Did you say buses can be converted perfectly.

But do you know if  the same applies to Leyland DAF 60 Tanker truck? And how much will it cost?
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by Nobody: 11:17am On Mar 12, 2008
One of those things that doesn't have a real fixed price.

All depends on source of parts, and if you're sourcing them yourself.
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by cyberjaya: 8:02pm On Mar 13, 2008
I dont know of: Leyland DAF 60 Tanker truck
You may check with the Ladipo Guys they can make it happen,

it is but you ll pay more, look for the dealership and they ll do it,they normally bring the complete dashboards with the whole component from the states and fix it while making the necessary adjustments, look for the toyota dealership
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by adebisi1(m): 1:20am On May 18, 2008

Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by styrax(m): 3:12pm On May 18, 2008
@MCool
Trucks are far easier for our mechanics to convert and the results are usually quite ok.

I have one Leyland Daf 60 tanker which was converted and Im yet to have a problem resulting from the conversion (its been like 4years now)

It should cost you about 80k to get it done. I did mine at Ibadan, somewhere not far from the Old Lagos Ibadan toll gate. The cost will cover everything including a new steering box.

All the best

Do you know any mechanics that will do good job for me in lagos?
Re: Convert Right Hand Drive Truck To Left Hand Drive (urgent) by styrax(m): 3:30pm On May 18, 2008
@Adebisi

I dont know if my mechanic in lagos can convert. The guys in ibadan are all into conversion; thats what they do and you see them working on trucks from all over the place (lagos, akure, abuja, abeokuta etc) , I still get to see them often because my yard in ibadan is not far from their workshop (Im into haulaging)

I know they can work on your truck for you at your location in lagos, obviously that will attract extra fee.

Personally i patronize who can get the job done regardless of where I can find them.

All the best

@Globaltrux, I am looking into buying several trucks in the UK and would definitely want to convert before I ship. When can I call you?

We can perhaps also meet your needs by supplying RHD trucks from stock or trucks that have already been converter.
Please bear in mind that the price to convert an old truck is the same as a newer model (Sometimes More, depending on price & avaiablity of parts), a price range for this conversion (To the highest standard) ranges between £3,500 - £7,500, (deoending on model and whether or not major components like steering box can be used or if good used boxis available)

I have attached a couble of pictures of vehicles already done, have a look. Feel free to post your comments
