VEHICLE CONVERSIONS
If a vehicle has been converted then the Warranty Conditions are explicit in that no responsibility will be accepted where the part has required repair or replacement as a result of the vehicle having been altered from the Manufacturers specification. Warranty must therefore always be referred to the vendor if the failure can be attributed to a conversion. Where dealers are aware of conversions, then these should be notified to Land Rover Warranty.
