Just got back from our tour of Wales.
1044 miles at an average of 20.3 mpg and not even the merest hint of trouble.
Just got to wash her tomorrow.

Removed the seized up rear wiper motor, took 20 minutes to free off then packed with grease, found an 0 ring to put on the spindle, in the hope that it keeps water out. Now working
Removed the tinted film from the rear window and both the front driver & passenger windows. Was like looking through cheap sunglasses. Now to fit the front air spring & steering damper.

Just back from Isle of Skye. Hit a huge hole in the road up there so pulled over as it was a big bang! the chap parked up in front had destroyed the front tyre and wheel on his Audi but the Range Rover survived it ok. Had the tracking done on return and its was way out!! must have been that hole. Still running well.

Just back from my annual trip to the yUK, 25.62 mpg on the 323 mile trip up through floods and against a 60kmh wind, 24.61 on 418 miles whilst in the UK including 2 hours in jams on the M1 and M25 not to mention all the hold ups on the A27, 27.12mpg on the 324 mile run home in good weather. On the run to the UK and the return the P38 was loaded to the roof. All brim to brim figures. Not bad for a 2.25 tonne lump. Total of 1065 miles and only a slow punture in one of the old and worn Goodyear Wranglers to report

It's a P38, not an L322See, they a'int all that bad really are they???
It's still the only car with which I've ever felt the need to carry diagnostics, overalls and spares

Thought it was about time to remove the emergency repair that the RAC did for me on New Years Eve last year!!
So, replaced all the cooling pipes, some were horrifyingly soft and squidgy when empty, replaced the water pump and cleaned out the rad.
The sun was still shining so I pulled out the intercooler and cleaned that out, a lot cleaner since I blocked off the EGR, did an oil change and replaced the fuel filter whilst I was waiting for the oil to drain.
Next week; diffs, UJs and a wee check of the fluid in my new gearbox. Yea, you're right, I don't trust garages.

Not only smooth but I'll swear that the car is quicker as well. It might just be that I'm not scared to kick the Clarkson pedal any more.

No road tax in France either and the MOT is every 2 years but not many Range Rovers about. Plenty of rich bankers on the Jersey.
I was amazed at the number of L322's on the roads in the UK, as common as muck, made me pleased to have a P38

Must be tight rich bankers then, most were earlier models (old lights - couldn't work out age from the 'J' reg). There were 4 just in one pub car park!
Tis true about L322's in the UK. It's nice to see the rare P38 out & about & you always get a nod
I did feel like i was driving in the clouds in the Rangie after scraping my arse on the tarmac in the wife's SLK though
