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
The 4.0L engine is a stroked 3.5 Rover V8. After stroking, it's just undersquare (I think). The 4.6 was well stroked and very undersquare, and not as nice as the 4.0L engine. Of course, the 3.5L V8 can be expaned to 5.0L with just a change of heads and crank.
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.
