Newbie from Salisbury

Hi guys and Merry Christmas to all.
I bought a RangeRover P38 - 2000 model, (my first), in July, and although I love it, it has not exactly been a trouble free ride.

I knew it had a few faults when I bought it, like the heated seats don't work - which I did not expect to miss very much - but that was before I found out that the problem with the air con would not be fixed by re-gassing and that the heating does not really work either and that I would be driving around in -10C temperatures this winter. Oh Well, I'm sure it is perfectly normal to have to wear two pairs of gloves and a sheepskin jacket when you take your rangey out in the winter? Speaking of which, I love the heated windscreen, it clears the passenger side really well - if only the drivers side worked too!

Already replaced the EAS compressor, and also need a new rear light lens and a drivers mirror - though to be fair they were both due to my own clumsiness rather than a fault in the car...But I have other problems that I'll post in the relevant section. I'm really looking forward to being in this forum, but I suspect I maybe a bit of drain on the resources with my 'Friday' car.

Regards

Nick

repaired all the parts ready for friday so they would break down when you most needed them!!

Cheers guys, sounds like you have all experienced the same level of reliabilty that I have come to expect. I found out recently that I have a porous block too, and I suspect I may have blown the head gasket a bit..

Another P38 in the area, cool.
:welcome2:
I am in the Bourne Valley just north of Salisbury.
