Question An Instrument Rating on a PPL

Hello

I hope that a few of you out there may be able to answer a few questions I have.

Firstly I have a South African PPL and well over a hundred hours total time, how can I convert this to a JAR PPL?

Secondly once I have a JAR PPL can I get an Instrument Rating on that licence? If so how long does a typical ME IR course take and secondly will I find it more difficult given that I have not studied the ATPL subjects?

Finally how much flying must one do to keep an IR current? Can a JAR IR be kept current by flying a/c registered in a non JAA state e.g. South Africa (that assumes the IR is also applied to my SA licence)?

Thanks in advance for your help
