30.5" tire, you should be fine if your suspension isn't too saggy.

Also, TC is pretty nice in these vehicles. I did a lot of wheeling before I got the CDL and was very happy with the performance.

I can't wait to go try it out. I want to put a 1.5 lift and then steel bumpers and a hydraulic winch.

Dude...dont destroy your diso...playing tug o'war with a tree is never a good idea...

and what do you mean smoke from the front right? out of the engine bay or you burning rubber?

"1590 is a rough road/ABS fault that normally will also show up when the ABS is having problem with the lights coming on and off or on all the way."

google p1590 land rover discovery, or use the search function on this forum (its located in the top middle of the page) tons of info on it.

holy Jesus man, don't do that! Traction control isn't going to do anything if you literally can't move forward.

So Scooter,

You have an oil leak and a water leak and the best thing you can figure to do with your time is play tug of war with a tree. Do yourself a favor and sell that truck and go buy a blazer or bronco.

Scooter - you can play in the woods all you want to. But understand that the coolant leak and overheating (you won't really know without a scanner) will take out the engine. Small oil leaks can be tolerated as long as you keep up with fluids. There are so many guys on here that "bought my Rover two (days to weeks to months) ago and now overheating......"

I know you looked at the temp gauge, but it is designed to point at 50% from about 130F to 240F, to keep people from worrying the service manager. Ideal temps are 180s to just under 200.

There is no limit to the modifications you can do to the Rover and the fun you will have, with enough time and money. But the motor has to run.

Enjoy the trip down the green tunnel.

I do believe this may just work itself out naturally...
