Auto conversion

So my wife is enjoying driving the 110 and I am considering the auto conversion. Is Ashcroft the way to go? Any feedback generally would be helpful. It looks like there is a wait time for the Ashcroft and I am not sure if there are other kits available. Thanks.

JE engineering do a ZF conversion would be knocking on their door if I had the £££ DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey

Hello Ben01

I've been through the 'Auto Question' in the early part of this year...

https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82722.html

My wife wanted to swap her Automatic Land Rover (Freelander) for a Defender... but liked (had got use to) the Automatic 'life style' my research seemed to end up at two main routes, Ashcroft and JE Engineering... Ashcroft offering the LR Range Rover / Disco 1-2 > 4 Speed Automatic Conversion and JE Engineering offering the Ford Electronic 6 Speed Automatic Conversion.

My advice would be to approach both companies and test drive a demonstration vehicle.

We did take out an Ashcroft Auto Converted 110 for sale (2010 110K Mileage £29K / March 2022) and it actually drove well, so I would not rule out this 'old technology'. I don't have the JE comparison experience and from what I've read I think there would be a significant difference.

We decided to not try and find a good Automatic Defender for sale but get a good standard vehicle and then convert as / if required... we ended up with a 2011 110 with 23K Mileage and so far (3K later) the manual gearbox hasn't put my wife off.... so I'm holding my breath

Good Luck...

I’ve got the LOF clutch spring and master cylinder fitted to mine and the clutch is light as a feather. From memory it cost less that £100 for both. Might be worth a try?

There's an extra full stop at the end of that link. Here's what it should be:
