Hey Up Everyone,
After debating what to do with the P38 whether to scrap it and give it up as a bad job or to fix it and hope and pray it wont be too bad.
Me and the Mrs have decided to fix it and get it running but to give you an idea of issues etc tell me if im wrong or ive missed something -
98 'S' P38 2.5 DSE Auto
Lowdown on the RR
Gearbox issue and the court case against who we bought it off etc means its been stood for about a year. It keeps getting a flat battery and we have started it an run it a few times but not done it since xmas.
I have worked out if i spend all going well about £2500 I can get the RR up and running properly. Here is how ive worked it out -
£1500 Getting the RR down to Luton from Sheffield and get a new Gearbox Fitted by Ashcroft Transmissions
£60 Diesel to drive the RR back to the MOT garage in Sheffield (Has No Tax or MOT but I will have it booked in for the same day at the MOT test centre)
£150 Service for all the oil and filters, diff oil etc
£200 MOT for any issues it finds which could be bushes etc
£125 Tax for 6 Months
£200 Upgraded RF reciever as I think this is whats causing the Flat Battery
£150 New Key
Is this a good idea or is there anything else i should get while im at it?
I will eventually get a new set of Tyres all round which will probably come to £500~ but i need it up and running *cough* Reliably *cough* lol
Engine sounds and runs quite sweet so this shouldnt be an issue but over to you guys Is there anything else that could do with replacing due to it not being driven in over a year?
Cheerz in Advance,
Zaff
