P38's for me buddy are a distant bad memory now. My Rover P5B was a beautiful car and MINT. I sold her recently and she was snapped up QUICKLY due to her condition. The L405 really is a nice car. Who know's eh. My mate will be here in it again at 5pm.I had four rover p6's over a period of 5yrs... Never had any luck with any of them... Rusty, engine problems, bumped into.. Clutch issues.. I adore that model but just wasn't the car for me.... Maybe the 38' is that way for you @Enthusiastman? but an l405, that's a different thing.
There you go again with those negative waves Moriarty!!! Woof woof woof. LOLSomething else to go wrong imo.

Didnt @Tigger Eeyore & Roo have problems? I've tagged him so hopefully he'll reply.
Well my mate did have a tactical plan after all by letting me use his L405 Autobiography 4.4 SDV8. He has ordered a new one at the dealers which should arrive in a few months time so he has asked me if i want to buy his. I am seriously considering it albeit the £585 a year road tax band puts me off. Its a April 2015 - 15 plate so no STOP/START on it. If it were a September 2015 model it would have had the STOP/START on it and the road tax would have been only £340.
I have to say i am very tempted as he has totally looked after it and it has FULL SERVICE history main dealer and he extended the warranty on it too at the 3 year old point for another 3 years and its just run out. Apart from normal routine maintanance the car has been ultra reliable for him with no problems at all and its just clocked up 59k which is low for its age. Its just had a full 80k service done, 4 brand new tyres fitted last month and new Brembo discs/pads up front at same time so he DOES NOT skimp on it.
Maybe this could be what i need to finally put to bed all those horrid P38 experiences i had.
He is popping over again later today in it so i can have another long look at it and maybe just maybe i might buy it off him.
I would like to know how many on here own and run the later model L405's imparticular the 4.4 SDV8 model and their own experiences please of ownership.
Cheers in advance.
Your gang's getting bigger as we speak.Congratulations! Good choice
Thank you. Bank balance took a huge hammering but she is worth every penny. LOLCongratulations! Good choice
I knew itWell i have bit the bullet and taken the plunge and bought my friends beautiful L405 Autobiography off him this weekend. It was a bit of a no brainer really in the end. He has babied this car from new and apart front routine servicing and maintenance it has never failed him and has always been garaged and will continue to be so which sort of supports its immaculate condition. She drives lovely and smooth and with only 59090 miles on the clock from new she is well below her average miles for her age which is April 2015 - 15 plate. I have put my private plates on her now. My mate has just at end of March this year had 4 brand new tyres fitted, a full 80k main dealer service carried out to include new front Brembo discs and pads, a full valet done and he had only 2 weeks ago filled it up so its still got well over 1/2 a tank of diesel in her. Oh yes, she is a 4.4 SDV8 model. Sadly road tax is £585 for 12 months as it is " pre stop/start " model which came in Sept 15 and was only £340 to tax but hey you cant have it all can you. This has made up for all the ****e i have had to endure this last 12 months in regards to my P38 search so i can now move on and enjoy this beast. As you can se she is now living the luxury life in my " mancave " on my 4 poster lift ramp where i can attend to her all i want. LOL. Similar cars like this on main dealer forecourts and at other garages ( with more miles on them ) are going for excess of 42k upwards. My mate paid £115k for this new back in 2015 and i have the sales invoice listing all the optional extra's he had on it. The electric deployable tow bar i love and was one of the most expensive options he said albeit he has only used it about 5 times in 6 years. It came with a spare set of the same style 21 inch alloys too which are now at the refurber's being done and these will be going back on the car in place of the plain silver wheels which i will probebly sell on. I have started ordering some bits for the car online already to make her my own and planty of polish going on to keep her super shiney. Wish me luck guys. LOL.
Cheers, i am very happy.I knew it
Nice machine dude
