Ok, so I'll apologise in advance for the long thread, but some background may be relevant... Plus if you're bored, it will give you a laugh and make your day seem a whole lot better! I purchased my 2005 TD6 Vogue SE in June 21 having pondered for a long while. Diesel went against the grain a...

So, after a few years absence I'm back! Having retired the P38 for a few years on the drive, I had switched back to a Jag in 2017 with a £350 XJ8 4.0. Due to a long MoT list on suspension however last September, I sold this for parts for the same as I paid and reverted to the Daihatsu Sportrak...

A while since I've been here as work and various other aspects of life and a couple of family bereavements have consumed free time, but getting straight again now I think. I have a 1997 P38 4.6V8 with LPG. Had a few years with no major issues, but about 3 years ago started to get long...

I have been experiencing some strange up-shift issues on a 4HP24 box since early last week (there but less noticeable on down-shift). Initially, a couple of occasions where shift seemed to delay (revs rise higher than usual and slower shift), but by the weekend this had become regular. I would...

First must apologise as not been very active here for a while - too many projects, too much work and not enough time... :o I've now had the P38 for just over a year and thought that warranted a brief update. So, the big question of what broke in that time first... Well, the grand sum of 1...

Well, the inevitable happened today so at least now I can relax rather than all that anticipation over what, where and when it would happen... It's been a good run of reliability for a P38 - perhaps even a record as I purchased in February? But en-route to dropping son at holiday club today...

My son & I noticed a strange noise today - not for the first time, but much more prolonged. It sounds like water running down a drain and emanates from the passenger footwell. Despite the fact it was raining and that I had thrown a couple of buckets of water over her to remove petals fallen...

Spotted something amiss... That'll be why the cruise control does'nee work then! :rolleyes: It's one of the few things that didn't work when I got it and as I don't do much distance M/way driving it's not really important, but may as well fix it. No sign of the missing vacuum hose so a bit...

I did something stupid on Saturday and it's cost me £15. Short of time, I took P38 through the car wash... Don't usually do this as a) they don't do a very good job and b) there are better ways to waste a fiver (beer :)). No aerial etc so what could go wrong? Got home to discover the ********...

Hi All, I'm looking to drop a fairly small electric winch I have, in behind the front bumper on my P38. Has anyone done similar and if so are there any off the shelf mounting brackets that are 'cheap' (ish)/ not too heavy before I look a either making one or having one made? It's not for...

Hi All, Well, so far no major hiccups with my 'new to me' P38, but I have a couple of (hopefully) easy questions... ;) 1) Seat memory and electric mirror on n/side. I can store the seat settings in either memory 1 or memory 2 - but the n/side mirror returns to a set position after every...

Well, I used my 'new-to-me' P38 for a gig (mobile disco) last night - first since changing from a Discovery a few weeks ago. I have to say that the loadspace is deceptively large and I actually have more room between the rear seats and tailgate than I thought. Height is obviously less, as is...

Hi there, Just thought I say hello again to the the P38 owners here. Joined the forum a few weeks back whilst researching P38's and bought my first in the week. She's a 1997 HSE 4.6 with a BRC LPG conversion. High mileage at 185K, but seems clean and tidy and, more importantly, everything...

Hi All, Just a quick introduction to say hello. I currently have a 1994 Discovery V8 with an early OMVL LPG kit, but looking to change to a P38 DSE in the next few weeks. Don't use the LPG much as prices around here are around 80ppl and mpg comes in around 8.5mpg! Petrol returns around 16mpg...
