OK tell me where i can get the fan, coupling, waterpump and belt from for £45! Please!!!!!! Cheapest I have found is about £110 for the lot....New not recon or scrap
 
o.k. mystic, ive got a 2000 4.6 vogue, dark grey with black interior.it took me months to find it, looked at some real dogs. like you, i didnt know whether to go for an x5 or similar, but the p38 is so much bigger inside than the others, there was no contest in the end. i got it for a real good price, had a gas conversion fitted, and all was good. a few problems with the eas, but after shelling out money with my local 'specialist'!!!!, i, like all other p38 owners became a quick learner. sorted its problems myself and its good as new.

like you said, i have always been a diy mechanic, and working on the p38 is no different. granted, dealers, specialists, and autologic are needed sometimes, but not all the time. you can do a lot yourself and get that amazing sense of satisfaction when you fix it yourself.

now ive gone range rover, i'll never go back. loving the luxury, electric everything motoring you only get from a near £60,000 car when new!

glad to hear it mate, as i have said i aint been in an x5 but to get a decent one with lpg is around 9k, so i think ill be doing the same as you and converting myself, whether i go diy or installer i have yet to decide.

i have my train tickets and my money all ready to go see sirus's rangie tomorrow, the kids nds's are on charge and so is my mp3 player, all ready for a 7am departure to head to birmingham area, looking forward to it and being a regular memeber on here for advice and chat and banter :D
