Mine is a DT, has factory sunroof and cloth seats, but who cares if the body work, electrics and mechanics are good thats what counts. Anybody that discounts the cloth seats are missing out on the most comftorable car seats I have ever sat in and that is not overdoing it, they are brilliantly...

Afraid you will either need to repair it or replace. Davie

Have a look at the Sorento diesel auto and the Terracan, both nice places to be and both will pull 3500KG. Old man bought a Terracan and its a much better motor than its given credit for, cracking engine. Davie

150 mile round trip today, no probs, ran great. They are such smooth running even on coils like mine, thouroughly enjoyed the run, makes me wonder why I'm toying with the idea of a Sorento. As one thing ends though another comes along as it looks like Im getting the dreaded hot start problem as...

Was giving her the gun on the dueler when the temp suddenly rose, not quite into the red, so heaters on full and limped into the nearest lay by to see coolant pouring out onto the deck. Bleed pipe from rad to expansion tank had popped off so refilled system. temp then would not steady out (going...

Mine was a corroded wire in a white multi plug behind right hand kick panel in drivers footwell. Davie

Hope you do not regret it, somehow I think you might in the future. Davie

Agreed 80 or 100 series, they are all over the place over there so would probably be the easiest to get sorted if needed and mechanicaly pretty bullet proof. A Nissan Patrol would also be a good bet. I have no problem going anywhere in my P38 in the UK but must admit would think twice on going...

Even they can have problems, fully paid up member of the Pajero cracked head club, but would be more confident in a Landcruiser. Davie

My god no custom cars or hot rods, life would be boring, I agree that if modified it should be inspected for quality of parts and workmanship, also that the part has been tested properly but any excuse to get us out of the bloody EU is fine by me. Davie:clap2:

As I have posted before I E mailed VOSA and the new rules do NOT affect coils or any other mods that are legal like upgraded lights. I changed mine to coils, was not difficult and only took a couple of hours, have never regretted the change and would do the same again. Spoke to a X5 driver who...

Of course you can change the filter its just better if you do it at the same time. Davie

Cheers guys, good to get some positive feedback, they are a good looking motor so don't blame my Dad for wanting one. Cheers Davie

Cheers guys Davie

I lightly sanded mine, got a tin of mat black spray from the motor factors and they came up a treat Davie

And mine is running fine but only after i broke the holy of holy's and fitted coils:D:D:D Davie P38 2.5DT

Hi guys, going to do an oil and filter change on the auto box when I get home next time, I take it that atf/dextron 3 is the correct fluid for a 2.5dt. I don't have a hand book for the recomended fluid so thought I better ask. I take it that the filter is pretty straight forward but is...

Hi guys, just jumped across from the RR forum, my Dad fancies a TD4 auto but looking at all the posts looks quite horrific but then if you look at the posts for the P38 no one would buy one, I did and love it. So when looking at a TD4 what are the common things to look out for other than the...

I had the same problem but also could get no signal from the diagnostic plug, I traced the fault for the diagnostic plug back to a white connector behind the right hand kick panel in the drivers footwell, cleaned up the connector, result got a working diagnostic plug and it also cured the SRS...

Acouple of months ago I wanted to see what mine would do over 3/4 of a tank (real world average) so filled it and achieved 24.25 miles/UK gallons, this was mixed driving (A roads, B roads, town, stop/start). I am also quite heavy footed so this could be bettered but wanted a real figure not what...
