Going to UK to buy a P38.

996TURBO · Feb 24, 2012

Hi,

I'm going to UK with a friend next week to buy and bring back a P38. I already see the faces:scratching_chin:. We have a testbook with us

Does anybody knows some P38 breakers on our route from Oxford to Folkestone?

I've already planned a stop at Island4x4 then at Land Rover of Ashford (Barretts)

Thanks

PS: what does mean :"are you pulling my leg?" ? A car seller told me that 1 minute after a phone call...

You are very confident in this vehicle i can tell.

I know those by working on them and the owner is a friend of mine.

But you are planning to stop for assistance at every RR dealer along the way?

Would think that a fat wallet and a prayer book would be more useful than Test Book !!!
Tom Peers (Roverviews) is just south of Oxford and has Faultmate with at least the Becm unlock kit loaded. You can get him on 07932 141966 if you are stuck.:cell:

Good Luck and safe trip back.

That is a phrase that you say if you think someone is playing a joke on you...

i.e.

Person 1: Did you know that Land Rover have said that Range Rovers are totally reliable??

Person 2: You're pulling my leg...no theydidn't...

Can also be termed as:

Yanking my Crank
Pulling my chain
Pulling my Plonker...

I see...

person can also reply with:

Go on, pull the other one...!!

Which means he doesn't believe you and is asking you to pull the other leg too, to see it that makes it anymore believable...!!

English is a weird language full of alsorts of sayings and phrases....

A swap doesn't really help me though. Feel free to come over and look at the '99 - your not far away...

Graham Goodyer 4x4 - just off the M40, you'll be driving right past them (and me, in fact. Fancy bringing one of your EAS manual inflation kits with you and giving me a hand fitting it?!)

Hi Everybody
I did just that, much better value to be had in the UK, No problems with the steering wheel on the right on the traffic free roads of Normandy

Bon Chance!

The fact is it's a very special one

and we won't convert it to LHD even if it could be done.
No problem since it's a Range Rover that will be used for holidays only and meetings.
