It has to be said - being esconsed in leather, with the feel of real wood in one's hands, and the sound of the Harman Kardon filling the room, who wants to drive fast?
And - in response to the OP - we've had our P38 for two years now. After fixing most of the inherited problems, the only things to have gone wrong in the time we've had it are the MAF, crankshaft sensor, and EAS compressor (seal). These were all relatively cheap and easy to fix.
More money has been spent per year on repairing our 6 year old VW Transporter (fortunately mostly under warranty) than on the P38, even though we do about the same number of miles per year in each. And now the VW is starting to rust in several places, and every time it rains I get a half inch deep puddle in the passenger step.

I think it might have been me.....travelling Southbound on the M6?
I did see a RRC in green but as I recall I was doing 60 and overtaking......... maybe not me then.
Anyway, in response, all tongue in cheek I'm sure......a well looked after P38 is a reliable P38. I'm working my way through inhereted problems too, and it seems to me, if a problem is sorted right, it doesn't need sorting again.
I still maintain that Rangerovers are for running poor people over......letting the unsightly blighters actually own them leads to no good....mark my words ;-)

So you like to wear leather Pants. trousers who cares. You have a wood handle on your whip and you like to listen to the Village people as you drive,so what,
It's been said that p38 are a problem car and piece of crap and newbes have be told not to or sorry to hear you bought one.
Are you being to sensitive? and can't take some ribbing, we'll to bad. Is your pink pride getting in the way of a little humor ?:lvgay-kiss-144:
