I think all leaded petrol engines will run on unleaded petrol.
Lead in petrol acts as an 'antiknocking agent', and it is this that can be added to unleaded as a lead replacement additive.
Landrover engines are pretty tough, so the increased wear and tear on the engine from not having lead will be minimal. youcan buy replacement cylinder heads (i thinks this is what needs to be changed) to convert to unleaded, although it may be worth while just waiting till your present one deteriorates to the point it needs changing.
have yo considered LPG as an alternative?
