The p38a
Lee_D:
OK, maybe better to ask in the http://rangerovers.net/forum/
to see if any one has one that has been trouble free.
I completely jumped the p38 because of it's reputation.
Everyone I know with one has had trouble over and above what I would deem acceptible for a car of such high purchase cost in the first place.

'sfunny - I went the opposite route and I'm happiest with the Disco. Mine has hardly been problem-free but it just suits me better.

To be fair, the P38a was lovely to drive. You could burn up BMW 320s, waft along on the motorways in luxury, and still drive Sarn Helen. It did put a smile on my face, but then I lived in constant fear of the next thing that was going to go wrong :(

Same here :-s
The P38 is a lovely drive...armchair offroading at it's best :lol:
Jake:
The biggest problem i've seen with P38's is the air suspension.
Its not that dear to change them to coils though.
And the conversion really sorts out the ride.
No more whalloing into the corners :wink:
