hello

hi all, fairly recently just bruaght myself a 1999 TD5 discovery after spending the last 3 months swapping the engine in my friends early defender 90, with a disco 200TDI engine in it. as much i hate to admit it neither of us had much experience hence the reason it took nearly 3 months of nights to do lol but yes im already experiencing my first landrover problems which have left me totally baffled! if anyone could help please feel free to show me the error of my ways on my other post. anyway have a photo of mine and my firends landrovers...

Welcome aboard.

Wow! Very good spot! Wasn't expecting someone to be able to notice that lol its annoying isn't it! so they were like this from the last owner and also has different tires on the back. As annoying as it is the old engine blowing up took the budget for new tires for now at least

Welcome to the forum

Morning,

Welcome to the loooneyzone,

Make sure you have the EKA code.

Cheers

What tyres are on the back, any pics?
I have a very similar setup. Insta/coopers-works well. It won't make much difference so long as you don't hit too many potholes at speed with it, only gotta lose few of those knobbly bits and ur balancing goes

Welcome
