Stripped my c**ting knuckles trying to replace propshaft......I'll just get by with one who needs two !! Quality British engineering my f**king eye !!! Although I firmly believe the trick to owning one of these is to just buy any old **** p38 as cheap as possible - live with it for 6...

Why why why do I never learn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Attempted exactly the same thing - had exactly the same problem !!!!!!!!! I'm ####ing livid ! Would have set fire to it if I didn't live in a stupid smoke free zone !

That's a fricking genius idea .....!! I'm seriously considering buying a second......

valid point .... .....out of a population of 62 million there are only 3600 of us mental enough to own one ?! (not including the odd 450 sat on a SORN in a barn somewhere...)

LAND ROVER RANGEROVER 2.5 DSE AUTO - How Many Left? Not sure this is a good or bad sign ?!

Never had an issue .... I use it as pre wash and finish off at home... Lost my virginity in a car wash....think yourself lucky !

No no and no .......

stripped cleaned replaced everything that didn't work only to find the passenger window no longer decides it can be arsed to work.... removed running boards and lamp- guards looks cleaner and now just need to find all the bits that are missing - randomly the interior rear light covers are...

Had 'it' a year not main car but bugger me has it caused me all sorts of fun.....BUT that said by far and away the best car and most fun to drive. Low(ish) mileage, clean and tidy. Still needs 17 years worth of cleaning (slowly being done with steamer) Driveshaft shot (need to replace)...

I thought I had problems.....!

Mine did the same until I realised wheel was buckled ....

Finally cleaned it ....

It's a gift that keeps on giving ....

Very nice

Bought pump seal kit on e bay for £13 ! ......

I have looked at the problem several times but not tackled it yet.....waiting for weather to improve ... As soon I find a solution ill let you know ....

Thanks Johnny you actually make it sound easy !...is there a seal kit available ? Are you free to spend 7 hours on my drive this Sunday ? If I want to blame the French for this debacle as opposed to our wonderful British engineering and ideaology then I will ! Appreciated guys...

Thanks guys ......I'm fixing it persuaded me...johnnycrash - instructions definitely needed I have read on here someone replaced the gaskets for small amount of cash ... I figure if it doesn't work ill just chip in and have it reconditioned ... I'm blaming the crappy French diesel for this whole...

My P38 recently did huge trip through France blew radiator it's a 2.5 turbo diesel auto box.... Was sat for few days replaced radiator and then the diesel pump started leaking (few tears and liberal use of the c word !) seems to be coming from the gaskets on the side ... On further investigation...
