What's with the CCHD though??Tidy car
What's with the CCHD though??Tidy car
If yer want a comfortable reliable land rover with go anywhere ability there's only one option. None of that messing about with hair suspension or worrying if you'll get to yer destination. Get yerself a Freelander 2. If that's a bit more complex than yer want, gerra Freelander 1 instead.I'm nearing 60 and I love my 110 to bits but cronky knees and back are taking their toll on me now.
I make biodiesel and I need a more comfy bus to run around in and love landrovers so a P38 diesel seems ideal being veg oil tolerant too.
However, I'm very old skool, never really moved with the times and I've never owned a car with ECU's or anything, my 200tdi 110 is joyously simple in that respect.
I know I'll need a nanocom? From what I've picked up from reading posts and maybe a few other tools too, mechanical stuff doesn't scare me , complicated electronics and auto boxes do even though I've never owned an auto.
Maybe auto P38's are better than manuals? Is there a particular year of P38 where niggles were ironed out or indeed, where they got worse?
I want a real clean one not a project, hoping to keep it that way.
Is there a comprehensive buyer's guide anywhere, I've found vague ones which have just scared me more.
Bit iffy on bio them things, some say ok some say not, P38 will run on straight raw veg oil so my bio will seem like luxury to it.If yer want a comfortable reliable land rover with go anywhere ability there's only one option.

Freelanders are a bit too girly for someone as butch as me anyway.
I Think Nodge has made a great advertisement for the FL2 I'd rather have my P38If yer want a comfortable reliable land rover with go anywhere ability there's only one option.

Ré read that, à few times..Slip of the finger 'enery,TCHD. Never heard of that on a P38. could be the seller knows feck all about the car.
As said above the customer basically got what they wanted. Mines a Dhse on 16" wheels with trim inside as per my exampleQuestion if I may..
Still looking and I've seen a clean dhse not a dse, on eBay and it has 18" alloys, does the 'h' mean it's 18" as standard or are they all 16" and it's a mod? Also some arfur Daley ads I've seen say it's got a part wood steering wheel ( they look nice) as it's a dhse but other dhse's I've looked at just have a plain steering wheel. Bit of a minefield this. Some also say extended leather dash? And door cards? Is the dashboard and doorcard trim leather on all models or just the 'h' ones?
Awe don't spoil it for the guyThe H means it has cupholders.
Weep.
Agree with the wheel sizes. The 16's are a smoother rideHe will feel better when he sees how much he can sell them on for - presuming he can findan ejokersomebody shameless enough to buy them
Floss don’t be led astray by the H. It’s a DSE with cupholders. Normal DSEs were kitted out with different options, if it’s the one you want fair enough but don’t pay extra for the H. Silly bits like wooden ashtrays are astronomically priced to buy afterwards but not essential.
The 18s are up to personal preference. It will run fine on them albeit bit bumpier. If it’s on 22s walk away
