not a good idea to put yer numbers up on the web - you'll get all sorts of nutters callin you ;) better to ask people to PM you (send a personal message) than you can give em yer number without anyone else seeing it

'user control panel '- up top on left - then click on 'edit profile' & put yer location in 'location' appears on yer posts then so peeps know where yer from

owdo & welcome to the house of fun what do you do - pay & play or greenlanin ? ..or both ? went on that '4x4 in the forest' thingy on cannock chase t'other month - great fun until the gaylander in front got stuck & had to be rescued :D

oh - like 'virtual CD' you mean ? - for those programs that you have to insert the cd everytime you want to run it - got that on me laptop - was always forgetting the cd's - it's never given me any problems

yup - looked at those as well - this DHSE had the 'powerbox' thingy & drove pretty well - 'nearly' bought a 2001 4.0HSE as well - but LPG wise the nearest place to me that sells it is about 20 miles away & not in a direction I normally go - so would mean 40 mile round trip just to fill up!

yeah but..., no but...... but only takes a coupla mins to burn cd & then just copy the files to your hard drive - runs quicker straight from hard drive instead of having to keep running the cd - i've got 1 on me desktop, 1 on me laptop & a couple of spare cd's

if you've had yours from new then you've obviously looked after it - i think most of the p38 prob's are caused by lack of or no maintanance. is that the 200k or 2,000,000 service ?:confused: did point him in the direction of the positive recommendations for a range rover...

why - because I've got one ? - as i said i was in similar position to 'groenendael' looking at either a p38 range rover or a disco (tdi or TD5) spent 4 weeks looking at lots of both types & having done loads of research on here & other forums & speaking to other owners I decided on a 2001 TD5 ES...

not sure when air suspension came in or if it was on the Tdi's - most TD5's are coil sprung - it's only on the GS & ES models (7 seater's) that have the rear air suspension

right - here goes if you've downloaded it you should have an ISO file about 600MB called 'rave001' (or 002 depending on vehicle) saved somewhere on you pooter you need a cd burning program of some kind eg, NTI , Easy cd etc insert blank CD into CD burner if you double click on the ISO file...

when you download it you don't actually download the PDF manual - you download the file that you then need to burn to a CD (using Roxio, NTI or any cd image burning software ) you can then access the manual on the CD with adobe acrobat or save the content of the disc to your hard drive & access...

may also be insurance problems with a vehicle that was not intended as a 7 seater in the event (god forbid) of an accident with your kids in the back i remember when i was a kid we always went in the back of my dads cortina estate - no seats just rolling about on the floor - all the way down to...

yup - as Slob says the tyre (or the air in it) forms part of the suspension so - less sidewall = harsher ride think you'll find that most TD5's with 18" wheels came like that - as all TD5 GS & ES spec models came with 18" wheels as standard & cos mine's got 3 almost new & 1 brand new tyres on...

YES ;) go for it - you won't regret it - £5k to £6k will get you an early TD5 (prob not top of the range model though) or a late top of the range Tdi ES both these td5's went for around the 6K mark recently (i think one was £5995 & t'other £6495 USED LAND ROVER...

body roll is controlled by the ACE system - my 2001 disco has very little roll at all - it corners great It may be your 18" wheels that cause a harsher ride - noticed that with mine when i first got it & have heard it said several times that the 18" wheels notice the bumps more than the 16"...

reet - found an extension on here ( for the sealy shutz gun) but it's £25 just for the extension - cheaper to get the machinemart gun just for the extension Extension Probe 600mm Sealey SG191

my shutz gun came with an extension - £12 from machine mart Clarke - CUB1 Underbody Seal Gun - Air Line Equipment & Air Hose - Machine Mart done all the undersealing - just got to get round to doing the cavities etc when i can borrow my mates compressor again - mine just screws onto the end...

also see this thread for some positive points on the p38 http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/trouble-free-p38as-45106.html

enginewise both should be ok - 300tdi is very good engine - the BMW 2.5 in the range rover is reliable but some people think it's underpowered for the RR 300tdi disco is a very good vehicle - it's just all the elecronics on the P38 range rover that let it down , whether it's a petrol or diesel...
