New motor so straight into workshop.
Fluids and filters changed.
All vac line changed.
Gearbox oil and filter ordered.
Coolant and thermostat ordered.
Needs a couple of minor bits.
Bonnet paint is crap.
Fog light trims are in primer.
Os outer front light lens missing.
Low range switch broken
Cubby box handle missing.
Everything works.
Overall very happy with my purchase.

Thanks grrrrr it's been a while.
Cheers range roller dt.
Fair play to the boys that keep the discos going tbf. After blowing up a td5 and going through a chassis swap wow some work.
I did really did fancy another p38 that's what I was looking for when this caught my eye after a bit of being undecided and alot of research I went to go see it and went for a test drive and was very impressed by it.
Being a very bmw motor suits me 100%
It's on 139k had a gearbox at 89k so hopefully life in it yet with fresh fluid and filter and don't bury the right foot.
Receipts in the past couple of year for 4 height sensors
And sat nav unit and heating unit draining battery being fixed.
No history of air springs though so that's a job to budget for.

Why not?You are going to rely on it for work?
Workshops 4 miles each way from my house once a day sometimes twice.
2 spare cars at the house.
And if I can just run with the range for small jobs rather then a fully loaded transit Luton why not

Go the long way

Oddly my Jag has a setpoint of 14.5V and barely goes over 1800 rpm yet doesn't have an issue with short journeys.

You have a better chance with 14.5 volts, that's why newer cars have smart alternators that initially charge at 15.8 volts, it makes sure that the battery stays charged on the school run.
