Was that the series 3 stage 1 ? In Australia we had the 3.9 litre Isuzu diesel as a factory option from 1979 until the Defender was released here, it was a very popular option and considered by many owners here as the best Land Rover ever. The V8 was not nearly as popular, though there are a few around.
I converted mine to run on waste vegetable oil, and have not had any problems in the last 2 years since I converted it.
I recently bought a 1982 4door Range Rover and am presently in the process of replacing the V8 with a 3.6 litre Isuzu diesel I got the motor from a friend for $100 so it will be a very economical conversion, the 3.6 has 500 more RPM than the 3.9 diesel so hopefully it will suit the Range Rover even better than a 3.9, and because the Isuzu was a factory option over here, the conversion isn't as exotic as it may seem from other parts of the world.
kind regards....Ron
