Thank God for that! You would have been ribbed senseless on here if you had bought a >200k miler for 12k!
Good luck with it, hope you got a good one.

Download RAVE now! All specs in the front. ATF iii for auto gearbox and transfer box. Cannot remember what oil the v8 takes. If you do it every 5k then semi synthetic 50/20 w will probably do but check. Diffs are EP something. 90/75?

Is that leaking or using? Mine uses quite a bit but it tends to do long motorway runs. I reckon it goes from full to bottom mark on the dipstick in about 1kmiles. There is a very slight leak but I think it burns most of that. No smoke though so I'm not worried about it.

The only rust to look out for is the brake pipe that goes over the fuel tank at the rear its very hard to pick as its hidden from underneath.
Suspension air bag can perish and leak slowly and should be replaced every 8 to 10 years but they are reasonably cheap.If its been converted to springs then you will get abused on this forum. I have owned my P38 for 10n years now and done about 130000 miles in it bringing the total up to 235000 and have had my fair share of problems but then I have taken it to Mongolia twice and driven through Russia about 5 times and also done most of Europe and Turkey and Kazakhstan Uzbekistan Kyrgyzstan .

god... Enough already!!!








bloody show off.:p;)
 
Full to empty on the dip stick is about 1ltr.
I use 10w40 Semi Synth from Smith and Allen. You'll need about 6 litres to fill her up. Buy it in bulk to make the saving!
Diffs are 75W 90R gear oil. About 2 litres at each end. Again I use Smith and Allen.
Autobox and Transfer box are ATF Dextron III. The autobox needs 11 litres! Although when you change the fluid, you don't get it all out, so in practice you'll need a good bit less. 2.5 for the transfer box. Again, Smith and Allen is your friend here....

+1 on Smith & Allen - Unilite 10w40. Big savings & having bulk means you have no reason to not change the oils when you get spare time. I did my engine oil every 6k & autobox & transfer box every 25k, diffs every 15k.
