Bugger , dirty fuel or gunge from the bottom of the tank ooh err Matron ?
got over half a tank. It struggled to start before we came out. And it’s been a tiny bit lazy starting for a while. HP pump was rebuilt nearly 2 years ago and this is the first breakdown since.

What a waste.

Breakdown turned up, half a can of easy start and a couple of jump start packs and away she went. Now I need to find the problem

Got my compressor overhaul bits today that @kurtjohnson10 only posted yesterday. Great service, thanks, hope to get them fitted tomorrow or Monday evening. Will be good to get Otto off the stops again.

You got the one P38 that don’t breakdown. Quite a bar to live up toI picked up my very first RR courtesy of @biketeacherdave and drove it 160 miles home
I am still grinning! Being able to hear a radio and having steering that works are just a few of the refinements, the list is endless

Flaky chassis, tbf she's sat for about 10 years and was a bit of a rotter from the get go!

Not really no.
My dad bought her about 12 years ago for £400, ran it for a year with the mot she still had on her, and then he got £360 back, probably the least loss he's ever had on a vehicle.
It was an utterly gutless 2.5 that had had no maintenance previously, and was a total heap before we got it. If it was a v8 varient she wouldn't of gone that way, but there you go. Properly hateful vehicle, I've no idea why the diesels have such a following to be quite honest, they were cack from the get go, and that's coming from me, a huge green oval fan and a defender driver!!
