Hi guys.
So guess what I've lost my marbles and bought a P38 dse auto. Oddly(!) it's gone wrong, which is how I find myself here. I've inwardly digested as much information as I currently need to sort my issue (real lack of power) it seems friendly enough here without the current trend of 'bants' and **** poor grammar that is rife on Facebook pages. Thank goodness Land Rovers appear to be bought by articulate informed reasoning adults not pre-pubescent school children wanting a fight or to perv on your Mrs.
I have totally fallen for the charms of my p38, accepted the constant maintainance and drain on finances as part and parcel of ownership.
I've recently retired at the tender age of 49 through choice following a health issue (stroke) after 30 plus years as an independent tech.
In all that time I avoided this marque and consentrated on most things V.A.G.
I bought the car knowing it had a few problems and swiftly dealt with them (auto box, blend motors(grr), AC, turbo,all the hardy spicers, rear diff, fuel temp sender, engine coolant temp sender, window regulator, viscous fan) which in all took just over a week in my knackered state.
Now it's all done I've discovered after being in a pals that it's woefully short of go but am on it with a better idea of where to head.
The worst issue I've had is finding good diagnostics. I've a solus ultra which talks to it but I'd like to see more and can see the rsw lead in my future.

Nice bus the P38 - not for me due the electronics
