I've been lucky(so far)no major problems,but one thing I can add to this thread is having owned several Portuguese vehicles now they have all been much easier to work on,no seized bolts and no rot,after so many years of working on British rot boxes it REALLY does make a big difference:D

348km and all is well(most of the time)a lot of motorway miles,was owned by a stand in teacher which had her serviced all the time which is paying of for me,but when I first went to view her it was plain to see it had been very well looked after inside and out and that is always a good thing...

Hi Steve and welcome,4.500 does sound a little steep,there are a lot for sale and this time of year prices do go up a bit,but it comes back to the old saying something is worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it,that sort of money I would be looking at a 300tdi but good luck with your...

Yes a serious looking truck,no river to deep no mountain to high im thinking:)

Hi polsta,I ordered the full kit from landyair a good few months ago and was very happy with it all,while I had the comp out I just replaced all the seals right through the solenoid block at the same,a couple of hours and job done,just a thought while you have it in bits

A good all rounder,easy repairs,cheap parts,prepped for off road they can look hard as nails

To be honest it looks a little bit to........shiny!if they did a "black" version like merc do( not that I'm a lover of Mercs let that be said)that would look good

Yes to all the above,I am driving both a p38 and a disco,you cannot compare the 2 for ride quality,when I've been in the disco and then take out the RR it really brings it home just how comfortable the p38 is,enough said!

Just did a search,11 volts is that right

Talking about glow plugs when tested what voltage should I be getting is a straight 12v,cheers

Ok doesn't sound to bad,mines not dripping but does look damp so I will have a go,thanks for the info

I was just reading a thread about cold starting and trying to get all this info to sink in and again it's wammers and datatek responding,these boys along with saintv8 have helped me out many a time,so I would just like to say a genuine big thankyou lads for your help,I'm not knowledgable enough...

Hi jeffers,did you manage to get the top seal for the fip no problem and was it easy enough to change out,cheers
