Strange as i've owned most of the models that the oval as produced but not a P38, ideally i want a 4.0v8 with lpg but don't mind the 4.6 and either boot well mounted tank or underslung tanks. Question is what else do i need to look out for?, i know i need the lpg certificate to keep the insurance happy and make life easier. Thanks and trust you guys to come up with words of wisdom :shock:.

andyhubbard:
Update to this is i'm going to look at a 4.6 with boot mounted lpg tank tommorrow,is on M plate (1995) ?.

just press every button and make sure everything works,and i mean everything

some stuff is cheap to fix but others are very cash intensive

if your planning on keeping it for a while spending a few quid at blackbox-solutions would be a wise investment and get registered on rangerovers.net forum theres a wealth of knowledge there

andyhubbard:
Thanks for that it's a start, is there any special noises to listen out for?.

All the usual stuff with the V8, the gearbox is electricery so try eveything including the low box.  The EAS is similar but not identical to the RRC and the HVAC is all ECU controlled too.  A good P38 is a nice thing but early ones earned a bad reputation.
Check the engine for evidence of regular servicing
