Just bought a 1966 series 2. My first Land Rover. Past owner had for 8 months and always used unleaded. Is this ok? Can I continue to use unleaded or should I use a lead substitute? Cheers. Andy

if it's got an unleaded head fitted it'll be fine, if in doubt use the subsitute - and even if you dont have a unleaded head and you dont use the subsitute you wont see any ill effects unless your doing lots of mileage at relitivly high speeds

Use a lead substitute like Castrol Valvemaster (There are cheeper ones) and if you dont then you will need to keep a eye on the tappet clearance cause it will close up if your valve seats are eroding.

This is assuming you dont have a converted head.

****e,

I bought a leaded 109 a year ago. Despite additive it has burnt a vavle out. Managed to secure a converted haed on flea - bay. Yep it`ll run on leaded head, but now you`ve read this you will have that nagging doubt. Sorry buttasdetrufe!
