Considering buying a 98 range rover
Discussion
I bought my '95 4.6 HSE on the basis of the fact it had already had a new engine fitted as well as a conversion to coils and a full service history.
I have also had the O rings replaced and done a few other bits.
On the whole though, it's proved a whole lot more reliable than the 3.9 classic that I used to run.
As an aside, it'll be for sale shortly as I no longer need it (working out of the country) if you're still looking - advertised on PH once I get home.

thanks for that, explains why it never happened with the Classics or TVR engines, was there a re map they offered for it at any stage when they knew what was causing it?.
LandRover never admitted to it.The problem was found out through third parties.The introduction of the Bosch Thor system on the later 4,s and 4.6,s seamed to stem the problem.I had mine re-mapped when i put the new engine in mine.i'm sorry but i've heard this so many times and it's just bks. It's nothing to do with any "map" problem- the amoutn of extra heat caused by a lean burn can cause the problems to manifest sooner, but are not the CAUSE of the problem. The THOR system most defintely didn't cure the issue and Classics and Trevors also suffer the same problems- you just dont seem them as often as
1. There are less of those vehicles around and
2. They tend not to have done the mileage of the earlier range rovers.
Porosity is also a misnomer- have a look here http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=24559&... for a fairly long discussion about it. If you want to know how to fix the engine properly then have a look here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=14006&... (its quite a long one but well worth a read)
