FAA PPL to JAA PPL
I've been told if I had an FAA PPL in order to convert it to a JAA PPL I'd need to do the following:
7 JAA Theory Exams
CAA RT Exam
JAA Skills test
Has anyone done this conversion? Is this what is required? or is there more/less to do?

If you have less than 100 hours on aeroplanes, that would be true if you wanted a JAR-FCL PPL(A) with an RT licence ('FRTOL').
If you have a current and valid FAA PPL(A) and more than 100 hours on aeroplanes, you only need to pass 3 exams (Air Law & Op Procs, Human Performance, Communications (PPL)) and the Practical RT test, then pass the PPL Skill Test.
It's all in LASORS............

Thank you very much for the info
So I could get an FAA PPL, then FAA CPL with 100+ hours, in the USA then come back to the UK and convert to JAA PPL with those 3 exams, RT and skills test.
Would you know if I need to enrol in a school to take the 3 exams, or could I private study for them?
Thanks again for all your help

There are "ground school" places that are around where you could do the exams (There was a bloke at Bournemouth who did them all for about £300 and 2 days)...
What is your goal? Personally I wouldn't bother conerting to a JAA PPL (you don't need to), and if you want to go commerical, just convert directly to the JAA CPL?

Thanks for the tip
Conditions on my medical certificate dictate I need a JAA PPL in order to get my class two upgraded class one, and thus proceed with the JAA CPL training.
