Having fried what seems most of my 3.5 efi electrics and getting no where trying to fix the problems, how easy is it to change to a carb set up?

When I did this to mine, it was as easy as fitting a carb intake manifold with carbs and lower pressure fuel pump. On my last Land Rover, I had a 3.9 on carbs.

Thanks for the rapid response, what about the wiring for all the sensors and ecu? Mine is an auto, will this be just as easy do you know?

Try a couple of these - essentially they are an SU carb for LPG.
55p a litre round here.

The efi ecu on the 3.5 is very basic. If I remember correctly, the only sensor it uses was the MAF sensor. Timing and ignition is still controlled by the dizzy.

That's a torment. 16 years ago I traded my beloved brown metallic 1989 range rover 3.5 for a tin box because of uneven running, cutting out, hunting. I was afraid of what might be a complicated sequence of process of elimination. I was young and ignorant. I'm not so young any more.

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions, I will seek out a manifold and carbs.
Where are you, may have some
