It is the type of air-flow meter used on the engine.
There are two main types, the flapper type and the hotwire type.
The flapper type uses a big flapper and a potentiometer to measure the air flow, the hotwire uses... well, a hot wire ;-)
You can tell which you have by looking at them simply enough... it's quite an obvious difference.

Um got it now and I've had it running I think the engine is well past its sell by date
Oil leak is not an oil leak Oil system pressurizing and oil is coming up around dipstick......I think it could be a couple of thing oil pressure vale no releasing gummed up oil ways or engine expired (But sounds nice!!!!!!!)
Misfire is when the engine is warm only I.e. when running on auto choke everything seems fine when it comes of choke misfire like a pig......May be Airflow meter!!??
Range Rover Blues:
Ours was doing the misfiring thing, turned out to be the ECU, that was a hot wire system though, the ECU costs a lot more S/H
The oil thing is very likely to be very excessive blow-by, worn out engine. You could try an oil change with decernt 20w/50 but I don't think it will cure it. Also try cleaning all the engine breathers, try running with the oil filler cap off.

Have all ready tried that i have remove the flame trap pipe from the plenuim chamber no oil leak then so engine has blow by or the air intake is blocked ??
Its funny the engine sounds very nice whilst running on choke I would have thought it would be running like pooh
I am keeping a eye out for a new engine now
the ecu will come to after doing the engine
Range Rover Blues:
Try a new flame trap first, it's a lot cheaper.
