As much as I like P38's, and i have had my fair share of them, the L322 is a different beast altogether. Interesting to hear all the responses saying get a P38, when it seems not that long ago everyone was saying don't get a P38 buy a disco or classic. L322's are getting cheaper and easier to...

Welcome to the fold Morgan.. Funny coincidence, I put a good mate of mine onto a cracking L322 last month, and then bought myself one as well :)

No problem, thanks for the reply

Hmmmm I am liking this vehicle a lot. Unfortunately it has come up a tad early for me as I am just in the process of selling the Merc... unless you want a nice E280CDi Estate with 7 speed auto?

A friend of mine has an unused galvanised chassis sitting in his garden that needs to be rid of. Decent offers please. Located mid Cornwall

Cheers Sean I will start with that

Thanks for the replies, maybe i will just rip out the annoying dash bleeper for a start. I have read somewhere that you can have the BeCM set to Australian mode which removes the immobiliser... Anyone in Cornwall got a nanocom or similar?

After my first foray into proper off roading in my sacrificial P38, which proved it to be a very capable off roader, I am now looking to improve its ability. One of the first jobs is to move the BeCM and EAS unit, yes I am sticking to Air springs for now. So my question is this, how hackable is...

definitely I've just finished a 6 hour slow cook chilli in the tagine, home made flatbreads and home made guacomole... maybe we ought to have a recipe swap sticky??

and the image :)

Thought I'd see what the bretheren say.. Basically i have been greedy :) and purchased two 4.6V8 P38's. One has an MoT but some niggly faults, whilst the other hasnt got an MoT but only failed on bulbs, emissions(New spark plugs and a quick blast) rusty brake pipe and an imbalance in the brakes...

lovely jubbly in sunny Cornwall.. Now what about a mobile version??

Now why didn't I think of that :doh:

Ok I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do.. I have a very clean 300Tdi Disco auto that is a jap import, it's a very nice truck but i find it a bit slow and noisy. Now I can either a. buy a nice P38 I have an eye on and sell the disco, maybe buy a shed for mud playing :) or keep the disco use...

Just trawling through some old car pics and came across one of my old v8 disco, the one used as my avatar. I sold it to a nice lady in Wadebridge, Cornwall but have lost her details as I may want to buy it back from her as a weekend toy.. Anybody seen it? the reg is L416FBU. Cheers

found this ignition fix link on another forum, very good write up with clear photos.. And it helped me this weekend resolve the problem you have just encountered. :)

cheers all, Nathan it says in your signature you're looking for a disco, I may just have one if you're still interested.

Hello and welcome from a potential P38 convert

I've spotted a nice looking P38 4.6HSE that needs a bit of TLC but mechanically I have been assured is sound, i.e head gaskets done rear airsprings replaced and new compressor... Its the right colour combination for me and the missus likes it (bit posher than the disco lol) is it worth the...

Civilised? thats a matter of opinion :) fortunately I'm not Cornish by birth so I have no malformed body parts(ish) and you need to be further west to get into deliverance country ;)
