Bought 1987 TD with TD5 chassis and engine among other changes, tried to insure and found the changes had not been registered with DVLA. How to rectify this problem?
 
You are in a world of hurt right now.
Its probably a TD5 defender with a 1987 body put on. (now I wont say the TD5 was probably stolen).

What were you told when you brought it?
Have you just brought it?
Private or trade?

Oh an welcome :) to the pitfall's of buying not knowing.

Other than the reg plate what else makes you think it is an '87 not a td5? Although anything can be changed there are some bodywork differences that you would not bother changing unless you had a whole donor vehicle. I assume the rear tub is a td5 tub as the filler will be in a different position for the rear mounted tank to the original?

Throw some pictures up (everyone like pictures) and the collective wisdom on here will be able to see which parts of the vehicle are '87 or if it is more likely, as indicated above, that is is just a complete td5 that has been ringed onto and older plate.
