    High mileage?

    Just curious about high mileages on Land Rover’s Anyone out there with extremely high odometer readings ? My diesel P38 has 188k which I’d consider low for it being a 1995 I see 10 yr old vogues advertised with 200k + on them but what is the cut off point where it’s considered high ? I was in a...

    Defender or Range Rover?

    They all have their problems but for long journeys I would forget about the defender based on comfort alone, a €10k vehicle could give you as much trouble as a €5k vehicle so I would forget about trying to spend the full amount and maybe buy something a little cheaper and hope for the...

    P38 diesel starting issue

    P38 diesel starting issue

    My p38 starts no problem hot or cold providing it’s at least 1/4 full of fuel, if less than 1/4 full it seems to take a bit of turning over before it’ll fire up...roughly around 4 or 5 seconds. If I change the in tank pump will it cure the problem or is it just the way they are and that the in...

    How much did you pay for your Land Rover?

    In 2003 I paid £800 for a 109 with a Perkins diesel fitted, swapped it 3 months later for a Ford escort lol In 2013 I paid £1,450 for a 1986 90 n/a and sold it 4 weeks later for £1,750...bad decision that I regret everyday Last month paid I £600 for my current P38, alternator replacement 1...

    P38 DSE to series 3 ?

    One more thing, is it a big job to change it to a hardtop? the rear tub would be wasted and I’d make more use of the back if it was enclosed and locked lol

    Current owner of a 1995 P38 diesel, haven’t got it very long....188k on it, going well and not too shabby Seen a series 3 88” pick up that takes my fancy but is the P38 a safer bet ? Can’t have both ( 3 cars and a motorcycle) already so enough mot and tax to pay lol The guys looking £3k but...
