My 2nd tip - if you can't drive very well normally you'll be awful in the slush & snow so f*cking stay at home rather than drive at 2 miles an hour in front of me

I find it hard to believe you had complete compression failure on all 8 cylinders with a pump failure. But it is a Land Rover after all. I had the marzipan shaft between the main and transfer gearboxes fail within the 1000Km run-in period on my band new 1994 Disco.
Not sure exactly what the issue was garage said the block was porus and it was time for a new engine. Engine on that one was replaced once already and failed less than a week after the warranty ran out. The 4.6 I got recently has got 116k on it and had a new engine at 70k, figure I have got 30k miles left in it. Now I have two of the things at least I have a spare working air system for WHEN the suspension fails on this one.
