Make photo copies of your old passport including all stamp pages. Once you receive your new passport, go to immigration and have them transfer the stamp. If you've never activated your LTR (entered using that visa) then I'm not sure the visa would be valid against a different passport number. But you could make you case with the IO upon entry...
