Depends if you know any friendly aircon guys. My old local was willing to clear the system after I fixed it myself. I needed a condenser and a few hard lines to sort mine... these days I probably need to add a compressor to the list.

If anyone is interested i have a set of 5 Comet 18 inch Vogue SE alloys with excellent tyres just come back from the refurber's and are mint, balanced and new centre caps READY TO FIT.
They are surplus to me now as ive given up on having a P38 now so all my other stuff will be sold on too.
They will be collect ONLY from Swindon area due to size and weight and prevents any damage in transit. These are better than brand new now. Genuine Landrover Sparkle silver colour.

Although I like the sound of the wheels this saddens me. You shouldn’t give up on your quest, just realise there are no minters to your standard you will pay silly money for the same issues we all have. This shouldn’t put you off it is part of the parcel of ownership of these vehicles and you know you’ve always wanted one. I took the plunge on a non runner and it’s been worth all the heartache. Find one you like that runs with full mot and get it, you can bin it in 12 months but I think you’ll feel differently by than

Tyres are on the other 18’s that are on the car. Just need to get them swapped, I dare say that’ll be a few ££££‘s! I’ll leave the 16’s on the import and use these on the 4.0L

Totally agree. Once you start driving the bug bites and bites deepAlthough I like the sound of the wheels this saddens me.

Totally agree, I know your minds made up Brendan but as DT says, find a goodish one and make it a minter like you did with all of your classic motors. What else are you going to do with your time. I paid good money for that import but always thought I’d need to spend on it to get it to a standard acceptable to me. Don’t give up on a P38 mate. Keep the kit you have and let the dust settle!
Just been out and managed to do something to the old girl I haven't done in 12mnths. Given the prop shafts a good greasing. Nowt finer than lying on me back giving the old gal a good lubing
There is a nice Vogue in gold on Car and Classic, if only
Put them in the For Sale section.
Put them to the back of the garage, you will need them
. You haven't really given up your just disgruntled at the moment. One will turn up when you least expect.As has been said by many and me you will be the 1 to make it mint as any will not be fully showroom (your standard) till you have it in your garage.
So accept some minor issues as long as body is good then the rest is easy with all the help on here.
Unless you are moving to the L322/405 TDV8 8speed
as i must admit there is a huge diff so wouldn't blame you. But of course the warnings are still the same, a badly maintained 1 will eat contents of your wallet for coffee break before moving on to lunch.J

They look really good, i need to get mine done at some stage.

I did nothing to the Golden Girl today BUT Davie changed the rear brakes. Green stuff, as usual. Now I can get even closer to the oldies that doing my head in*

Hmm, let me think about it.......I'll have the loafers Mark Piercy can have the brothel
apparently the viscous units should be stored vertically, or they will likely die.
is this true? i can't see it myself
