Worst job you can do on a Range Rover P38

ovalandrover · Mar 22, 2011

The other day I was parked on ann uphill slope and in the morning noticed anti-freeze Dripping out of the rear drivers side door.
Oh **** thats a heater matrix needs replacement .
I reckon that must be the worst job you can attempt on a P36 as all the console and any other plastic piece of **** has to be removed and if you can get away without breaking any your lucky.
Any tips that might make the job easier? or does anyone else know of a worse job?

I would try changing o-rings before changing matrix, fidly but doable in place without dash removal.

Worst job is removing and replacing the bloody gearbox!

There are lots of bad jobs. But by far the worst thing you can do to a P38 is fit it with coil springs. It's like putting one of your own kids in a home because your parenting skills are crap.

Not started yet LOL. Car is still running! Still thinking about the best way forward. I have a secondhand box but it has 162K on it. Not sure I want to fit it and have it fail. Might take the old box to Ashcrofts for an exchange then fit that.
Pit is nearly done so I can't put off looking at it for much longer
