If you follow the suggestions from Wildefalcon, it is relatively easily fixed at a reasonable cost. While unfortunate it is far from a death knell in my opinion, though I understand your frustration. All of us have been in a similar place at some point. Old vehicles nearly always have some surprises after purchase until you get on top of them. Even when fixed, Land Rovers are 1940s technology and require regular attention to keep them roadworthy. As the saying goes: "Land Rover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948".
