Hi I use a 4x4 for work and currently drive a 3.0D ISUZU Trooper. Its a great car from a practical point of view but the fuel consumption is rubbish. I get low 20's round town, 26/27 on a run and somewhere in between as an overall. The fuel consumption is the only thing making me...

Just got rid of mine and to be completely honest no plans to own a P38 again!

Hi Buy one with as comprehensive history as possible, many for sale out there have been neglected. You may think your getting a bargain and then spend the next few months and a shed load of cash putting things right (I speak from experience). Common faults are widely listed on here, my...

when I do come to sell, all sensible offers considered ;)

I may end up running round in the P38 for a while if I cant sell straight away, and to be honest it makes financial sense to do so considering how much I have spent on it since owning it. My heart says keep it as it should be more reliable for a while. But my head says one more hefty bill...

ISUZU Trooper would probably do the trick but want something with a bit of style. Will probably end up running round in the P38 for a while as might not sell straight away anyway

Keith I've had an X5 in the past and had no problems. I've lost all confidence in the P38 as every month I'm forking out for a hefty bill. At least I can say I gave it a go!

Sorry to say I'm thinking of selling out and buying an X5. The size and ride of the RR is great but even if you buy a well maintained one (as I thought I had), things go wrong due to the age and I can't afford to be off the road as I use it for work. Also the sluggish performance is starting...

I'll be selling it as soon as its fixed! far too unreliable for what I need

cheers wammers will do

Hi One of my rear airsprings failed this week, I have had replacements fitted. My mechanic says he is getting no live feed to the EAS system? He reckons the carpet under drivers seat is quite wet and could have damaged the BeCM does that sound about right? I have had a few issues with the...

cheers Wammers, I downloaded RAVE and extracted the PDF's from the zip file, it doesn't autorun so can you point me in the right direction of which PDF file to try opening?? cheers

still cant find the sodding wiring diagram! the workshop manual I downloaded has 1361 pages, am I looking in the right place? any help appreciated. My car is black and I'm dying in this heat! need to get it sorted ASAP cheers

I downloaded RAVE, not sure if I downloaded the right bit cos I can't see any wiring diagrams?

Hi My air con is faulty so decided to get it tested at kwikfit. Vacuum tested ok, they got it running by bypassing the existing wiring. They want £50 per hour to diagnose where the wiring fault is and fix. What's the cheapest way forward? Shall I get an auto-electrician to have a look or...

I contacted my local ChipsAway to find the guy has gone to work for another company called Liquid Finish, they will repair up to 4 patches on the same panel for £68 which seems reasonable. As my car is black and the repair work will be at the bottom of the door I am seriously considering it

Hi Was wondering if anyone has used a mobile sprayer to rectify the corrosion patches that p38's are prone to? Mine has 3 small patches to the bottom of the drivers door and the same on the lower boot lid. Just wondered if using 'ChipsAway' or similar was false economy? Cheers

I gave mine a day off

What's the car spec? Mileage and asking price? Some of the guys on here might have an idea of what you should realistically pay for it

If the book sign is blend motors you might be able to 'force' them to work by hooking it up to a nanocom. This is what happened to mine, but after 2 connections to nanocom and being forced up and down the problem has gone away (well at least for now)
