very good point, oil is ordered!! thanks all.

ok, so your damned if you do and damned if you dont!!!!

so the penrite hpr 10/50 should be ok then, seems to match what a few are saying, synthetic and high zinc?

ok so ive been on the penrite site and the hpr10w/50 seems to be the way to go, couldn't find a high zinc synthetic 20w/50!

the penrite appears to be only mineral?

what happened to electrical system?

ive just been out to get some, no luck at euros or halfords so i guess its on line purchase!

isnt it just!!!!! is that another p38 on the wirral or something newer?? also been recommended high zinc 20w50, would that be the same as 20/50 dino that you say stear clear of?

cheers, all added to the list.

cheers lads, getting there on the to do list. although it is a very clean low mileage car there isnt a lot of service history, any jobs you would recommend doing as a precaution, the last owner said it was serviced every year but who knows. im obviously doing oil and filter, its booked in at...

any preference for filters?

cheers, ill look for high zink, i live chester way so dont think any need for 10w50, its not that bad here!!!!

lol really!!!! no they are good as gold down there, shame they not land rover specialist, they just an ordinary service garage but good enough for things like oil change.

i was wondering what your opinions are as far as the best engine oil for 4.0 p38, 2001, also best filters? if i supply oil and filter my local garage will do the change for £20! rather do this than have them use there own oil.

just noticed yesterday that i'm pretty sure it goes away when turning!? also been told that i would have to change the whole hub and not just bearing, £350+vat!!!!! is this correct?

only got the one key so cant really send it off! ive ordered new buttons as that is all that is really wrong with it and then ill have to bite the bullet and order another key from dealer!!!!!

cheers, ill check it for any play.

hi, one of the issues to sort on my 2001 4.0 p38 is a tapping noise coming from what sounds like the drivers side front wheel, it sounds just like there is a stone in the tyre, even speeds up and slows down with the speed of the car but as soon as i touch the brakes it stops!!! any ideas...

its a 2001.

dont worry, i stopped playing with my dolls years ago, punctured them all!!!!;)
