We did 5000 miles in our p38 at Easter and had no problems, so take the P38 and enjoy

Update: just got back from Scotland (ish) and the Rangie has done me very proud kept the family safe and very comfy we cruised up the A1 at 70/80mph didn't miss a beat. Small amount of traffics around scotch corner but temp gauge stayed exactly where it needed to. And! The biggest accomplishment of all my uncle who now has a 14 plate RangeRover got in it for a lift and when he got out he said "I'd honestly forgotten how nice they were to be in!" Glad I took it!

Hi all,
Just got back last week from my hols down in Cornwall, covered just over 1,000 miles and my old girl never missed a beat. She towed our caravan up and down some big hills and coped very well, EAS behaved perfectly, locked it in motorway mode and she was spot on. Never used a drop of of coolant or oil. My neighbour on our camp site restores cars and said how good my old girl looked, in fact he had to borrow some of my tools that I took to fix his fairly new discovery TDV6, that put a smile on my face. Only down side was that petrol was 5 pence a litre dearer than my local area.

WOW Terry, that's some commute, but yes totally agree about the reliability of these beasts. Only real issue I had was the EAS ECU playing up when I first got it but that's it really, only let me down at the roadside once when coolant hose split due to it being the original and had perished, I had changed all others but overlooked that one so really it was my own fault, but since then she has been as good as gold.
