I have a '93 Disco 3.5 V8, I am improving the performance and fuel econmy of mine by fitting extractors and a less restrictive exhaust system, cost about $900 Australian (sounds real sweet), next is a Snorkel and a bigger air filter box with a AC-Delco paper air filter $250 to $500 depending on Brand, then last a Unichip fitted and programmed for maximum fuel economy and better performance. You can buy specail conditioners and additives to preserve engines and radiators that are to be stored for long periods, check around. I would be very wary of Mechanical Warranties offered by brokers on behalf of Insurance companies, in Australia most are not worth the paper they're written on, before you pay your hard earned get a solicitor to check out the fine print. I know of a person that threw a con-rod in his warranty covered engine and after months of hassels the insurance company gave him a new con-rod and piston, even though the engine was stuffed, the only actual broken bits were a con-rod and piston, didn't seem to matter that the crank and block needed heaps of expensive machining, Caveat Emptor, Regards Frank.
