The engine is a 3947cc Rover V8 EFI with a lucas distributor. I'm planning to take this wonderful lump of aluminium out of the engine bay and refurbish it to the best of my ability (thank god for haynes manuals). The radiator reservoir and bottom (Y-shape) radiator hose are new and GENUINE landrover parts, i shall probably not buy genuine parts again, because these parts added 20% to the value of the vehicle! When i've finished the engine refurbishments i plan to fit it with an LPG dual fuel conversion for cheaper running and i'm debating whether to keep the current 4-speed auto gearbox or lift it and replace it with a 5-speed manual, again for better fuel consumption. Town driving comfort vs economy and off-road handling, i'll decide at a later date!
