Any lights on? (like a Check Engine Light)---how many miles?....serviced regularly?

Your question is a little difficult to answer, as "rough" means different things to different people. Is it a vibration, or is it a noise ---or both?

read my tech info pages at www.eurotekapg.com to get a primer on what to expect from your Land Rover.

Its not vibrating its just the sound no light execpt SRS, i'd change the plugs and the wire, add fuel additive, and used sytenthic oil. Maybe its misfireing, How do you fix it.

How many miles on the truck?
It may be time for a good de-carboning and induction cleaning.
