Sadly im selling my 4.6 Vouge in Oslo blue. Cant justify to the missus anymore having two cars and 2 motorbikes in the current financial climate
I will consider any offer within reason so dont be shy.
Ive had her for four years and im quite suprised to say that, as when i first bought her she was a tad unreliable to say the least. But now and for the past 2 years or so all of the niggles have been sorted and she is thoroughly reliable. 140000 miles most on LPG
Ill list the bad points and then if your still reading the good ones.
She is not the cleanest of cars, there are numerous small dings none of them serious but they are there. Rear bumper has had a knock on the corner and has cracked. There is an area at the bottom corner of the rear door where the paint needs redoing as it looks like a reaction has happened with the ally door skin. There is a semi circular crack in the bottom of the windscreen that was there when i bought it, its not a problem at the MOT and dosent leak at all. She has an oil leak (surprise) i think from the oil cooler pipe union, but it looks worse than it is and just needs keeping an eye on and topping up every few months.
Then tensioner for the serpentine belt needs replacing as the bearings whine.
Drivers window sometimes is a bit sticky but works ok if you override the antitrap
It will need a good clean inside as it has been used to transport dogs
Good points,
Everything works,
Eas is fine as i fitted new Arnott airbags and a reconditioned eas pump.
New Janspeed SS catback exhaust system (sounds lovely)
4 as good as new General grabber AT tyres the new ones not AT2s
Newest AF receiver no battery drain problems.
New blend motors (not secondhand ones)
New aircon radiator
New LPG ecu (its omvl single point and works fine)
K&N airfilter
New Alternator & belt
There is a big 3000w 5.1 amp in the boot i have wired into the original speakers ( this has a loose connection somewhere and sometimes you loose the rear speakers) and a sony usb/bluetooth head unit
RR dog guard
other points
This is about as new as P38s get was made in the last few months of production
Factory tints light at the front v dark on the rear
Black leather interior with walnut trim, power seats work fine
sunroof works perfectly no leaks
90L donut tank in wheelwell and cable and adaptor to programme LPG ecu
Eas cable to reset/calibrate eas
Has about a months tax and Mot is early next year, ill check exactly when i get home.
As i say there are cleaner examples around but are they reliable?
I dont want a fortune for her but the tyres must be worth £400 on there own and the stainless exhaust another 300
I would rather she went to someone on the forum who knows and loves p38s but if shes still around in a couple of weeks she will be ebay bound so grab yourself a nice reliable one for not a lot
PM me if you want any more info or to make an offer. Ill try to put some pics up soon but the weather is crap at the moment
