If its done 200k there's no reason it won't do 200k more. If its cheap enough its definitely worth the gamble, but be prepared to spend on some key maintenance items.

How much please?

Probably due to the amount of work needed to get it back upto a working standard. It’s effectively a project.

But the problem is still there. Sounds like a poor diagnosis on the dealers part too. It’s good that it worked, but it’s not something I could do myself.

Please don’t put any stop leak or any type of sealant into the cooling system. It barely copes as it is, adding gunk into the system is only masking the problem and not fixing it.

P38’s are funny cars to deal with. Unfortunately it’s going to be a case of checking the obvious before delving deeper. Not many places will touch them either as they can be problematic if you don’t know them well enough.

I’d give you more than £100 just so I can put it back on the road. More diagnosis needed I’m afraid though. Fuel leaks can be sorted, injector is probably just leak off pipes passing. Overheating could either be head gasket, water pump failure (plastic impeller notorious for failing), failing...

Does any modifications need to be made to accept the audi heater matrix? I'm yet to do my o rings but seeing the conversion makes more sense

Have you got an oversized torx or allen bit? Maybe access to a welder to tack a nut on?

Never the case with LR. It always finds a way out lol.

Irwin sockets from halfords will get it off

Avoid taking the bumper off unless absolutely necessary. The brackets in the end of the chassis rails rot, the tinwork on the bumper itself all rots, the torx screws under the bumper rot or round off. Its basically one big rust trap unfortunately.

Start with the obvious then work your way through the little bits. Try not to tackle too much otherwise you'll tie yourself in knots. Start with the basics (engine, transmission, brakes) then as you go along keep a note of all the little bits you come across. If you just start firing the parts...

Highly doubtful without comprimising the integrity of the seat/rail. Even the poverty spec seats are a hefty lump.

I stand by what I said earlier. That looks a shoddy installation.

Get rid of the LPG. They tend to cause more problems than they solve. Have the terminals worn or is it the connectors themselves?

you’d not even know it was there till you needed the traction.

time for an Ashcroft ATB!

When I had the box out of mine it all came out as one lump, but putting it back in I split them as the gearbox jack didn't like it lol.

They are a hefty lump but they weigh nothing compared to the jap stuff. The front diff on my old Terrano weighed more than the box and transfer on my P38 combined!
