Send her a copy of wammers how to in tech section. Might help her mechanics to sort it. At least its a start
 
It's on Dutch plates who have different rules to UK vehicles... it's in Spain my advice it's only worth scrap value 300€ take it...or take back to Holland...
 
Got talking to a lady today (socially distanced) turns out she has a P38 in Southern Spain..

Its been in and out of garages in the area for 2 years and no one can seem to understand air suspension.

She's been advised to put it on coils or scrap it the garage offered her £300. It runs fine just the air suspension and she wants to keep it.

I introduced her to this world of reprobates and the support we give each other and suggested that there are people here that can help.

I've exchanged numbers with her, as if anyone can help we'd be helping out another RR and owner.

Spain is in total lockdown. Best thing is work through Wammers guide using EAS unlock from Datatek.

How far down in Spain? I'm sometimes in the Barcelona area but not for the foreseeable!

It's on Dutch plates and if they arn't going to matriculate it it's there illegally...thats why they were offerd 300 for it by garage...it's scrap due to status...

Sounds like too much hassle to me its an auld p38 needing imported.... 300 squids is a good price id bin it & buy something
with Spanish plates.
 
To be honest if it wasn't to far I would be tempted to fly out and bring it back. If bags ok, valves , pump them up and bring it back. Worth a good sum as a doner or even a runner.

What??...are you mad...it's on Dutch plates you cant put it in your name you cant insure it and the cost of your flight purchase and drive back never mind trying to get it in to uk is just not even thinkable forwhat its worth...

Helps when you have family out there to store and break it. Parts can be brought back/shipped cheaper
 
Backtracking now... you said bring it back...youll never make money that way theres enough P38 crap in the UK as is...
I know, totally agree but wife would love to move out there and always like to keep my options open. Must agree with you though honestly, tempting when had a few sherberts but not really sensible

Wev'e scrapped 2 P38s and 1 L322 in the last 6 months here in the Algarve that came through the garage...1 P38 was on Portugese plates and after an accident was given a complete new chassis and under neath gear from tank forward was then hidden for 10yrs till we found it had under 30 thousand kilometers on it but was scrap as had a 60 thousand euro debt on it to the IRS so could never reg it to new owner...the others on Uk plate again scrap 500 to 1400 for the again immaculate L322 with an air problem...

Is it difficult to put on Spanish plates out there then? Easy enough to register a dutch car here.

@Rubberknees: I would wait and see what Brexit brings before heading out there. An old neighbour did it years ago, lasted a year or so but missed the UK (and work) and ended up coming back and not so much working but tinkering for cash.
