Given that Ive had P38's for a very long time, have experienced slipped liners, EAS meltdowns and just about every electrical problem known to man ....... and I still love them .......
Current is a 2.5 1998 hse that runs like a swiss watch - Its had constant care and attention, everything works apart from the EAS which is now coils ...... flew through an MOT last month with emissions that barely registered ....... probably worth between 1500 and 2000 quid ...............
Im looking on auto trader at 2004/2005 RR's 3.0 TD6's in the 12000 to 14000 mark .........
what do you think - do I continue enjoying my cheap P38 or would it be a smart move to move up ........
Im well aware that the day after I buy it, it will be worth nothing ........
Im thinking in terms of ....... is the TD6 really that much better than the old 2.5 ... was the EAS any better than the old P38 ...... is the fuel consumption any better ...... or worse ......
and finally, I got 700 quids worth of winter tyres on spare rims for the P38 - will they fit the newer model ...... ?
I know its one of those "luxury" problems - but the tax man just gave me some loot back and its a shame to see it just sit there waiting for the bank to go broke ................
