There's nothing like the EAS on the Rover, I wouldn't be swapping it to a conventional set up.
Your friend should go to www.landroverforums.com
Many people on that Rover forum that have done such a conversion say it was a horrible idea.
Can you drive your Rover while it's on the bump stops? Yes, but you definitely want to avoid bumps/bad roads/soft surfaces.
Even though it is expencive to replace the EAS (lets say it's not fixable), a large part of the capableness of the Rover is related to the suspension.
Oh, as a side (and fun) note, if your friend has a section in his manual on how to wade with your Rover, it's an interesting 4 - 6 pages.

Mike: Yes he drove it home after the EAS fault appeared. the computer doesnt actually limit the vehicle, it just tells you on the message center not to exceed 35mph.
