Congratulations on getting it on the road. I know it was a long, hard slog. I went back and read the entire thread. Wow. You are determined, persistent and resourceful.
As for the codes, two steps forward and one step back.
Are the codes all on one side, all even or all odd? Or are they on both sides? I'm guessing (hoping?) the ignition wires you installed were new. And the spark plugs.
If all on one side it's likely an O2 sensor. Or two. A prominent participant on this forum who was a Land Rover service manager and is no longer around here swore up and down that a bad O2 could not cause misfires, but one did so on my truck 2+ years ago.

Hahaha thank you... though it feels more like one baby step forward and two giant steps back at times.
As funds were and are very tight I reused everything I could..including plugs and wires. Later today I think I will pull the plugs and see what they look like.
I wonder if bad or old fuel could cause this? Excess water maybe? Though I did add Lucas treatment to the fuel system and topped up with 93 octane...so water should not be an issue.

Hard to believe the journy this thing has been on lol.
Was sold to a scrap auction because they original owner did not want to invest in fixing the motor. Was bought and parted out for the bumper, abs pump, and washer bottle then sold to a scrap yard where I found it.
It was literally days before it was to be crushed and gone for good.
