Although having never tried this myself I have heard a few stories of people running series front axles in permanent 4WD without heartache. I would guess this depends on the condition of the axle to start with.
The 4.2 will be "Hotwire" EFI whereas the 3.5 will be "Flapper". Do you have the whole wiring loom with the 4.2, including ECU and air flow meter?
You can either add the lambda sensors to the tubular manifolds (I have done this in the past) or as mentioned above remove them and change the tune resistor to a non-lambda variety.
Large metal hoop cemented into ground, large chain through hoop and Xmember PTO, won't be picking that up in a hurry. Unfortunatly the council will take a dim view of you doing this everytime you park
I'm starting to think about the same sort of issues with my Series3 V8, kill switches for pump / coil and a battery isolator is probably going to be my starting point.
Sorry to hear about this, hopefully if it's been rolled while they were in it forensics will have plenty to go on.
It's bad enough when you bask one of your own land rovers up, a lot worse when someone else does it for you
My last range rover ran on -1 inch springs, standard anti roll bars and blistein dampers. Red polys all round. This handled very well.
The springs came from Famous Four. I'm actually going to fit a set of these to my Discovery (currently have the standard height ones but I very rarely off road)
Ahh, that's true. I hadn't taken the different cooling method into account. Perhaps it's an issue with the cooling system itself, I would have thought there would be some way of keeping the engine at an optimum temp, perhaps it could also be a fault with that?
That's pretty much what we made. I used to get problems with icing untill the engine had warmed up but it was never a problem 20 mins into running. I would have thought any problems with icing would manifest fairly quickly and not once the engine had reached a higher temp?
I had one of these in a series 3. Sounds like he could need a heat isolator plate between the manifold and the carb. We made one from tuffnol. It was many years ago but I seem to remember this giving the same problem and this being the solution.
Present the disco to the MOT station running on LPG and this is what they have to test it on. I recently had mine tested on LPG and it certainly has no cats, tubular/stainless system from my old 3.9 Rangie. Passed.

My Dad came home with a 109 one day when I was a kid. I fell in love with them and bought one as my first car. They are all I've owned since, well Range Rovers and Discoverys too. Drove them when I worked in the mine for a while too.
I'm pretty sure you can change the prop for an earlier one and just take it out all together. I'm sure somone else will be along to clarify or deny this
How's the rebuild coming along? I'm following it with much interest
I've put my dash back together for the time being, the top panel on mine has seen better days but the bottom half isn't too bad.
