Thanks for your opinions chaps, I take your point about arresting any active corrosion before applying a protective layer. I was wondering if anyone has had any specialist outfits like Ziebart or similar do a professional job on their cars?....I've heard of all sorts of weird and wonderful...

Evenin' all! Any of you fellas had any experience of rustproofing companies/products?.....I'm looking to get my new beastie waxoyled & undersealed.....any experiences/advice/recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks.

If you do not fancy DIY....( it's quite straightforward with the right approach )...try an excellent independent landy specialist: Lewis 4X4 , Neath. Very professional and very reasonable in my experience! Hope this helps, Cheers

Great Thread!....answered most of my questions regarding my imminent LPG conversion! Thanks to all you expurts!

Interesting Topic, and one which I was about to post a question on too...hope you don't mind me butting in on this one Brummie? I just bought a 4.0 P38, and will soon be installing a lpg system for obvious reasons.....who does the best system and what sort of spondoolies are we talkin...

Another bit of advice please guys....I want to put a nicer set of alloys on my "new" 1998 P38. What do you lads think of 18" L322 wheels?....I have 16" on as standard, and I know that if I go for the 18" L322 alloys off a 2004 Vogue I will have to use spigots and new wheel nuts, but what about...

I'll post some picks of the car when I get back from my hols at the end of the month. Does anybody have any info about underbody\chassis treatments....zeibart etc?....I'd appreciate any pointers\advice. How are these 4.0L V8s rated in the Range Rover stable?.....I may consider dual fuel/LPG...

I had a 2.5DSE on the road WITH FOGS, for 4 years and no trouble with gearbox cooling! Either cruising or towing. When I first bought her, she had no fogs fitted, but it had blanking plates on both appertures...I had an intermittent gearbox overheat warning almost immediately during her test...

My little bute` is very clean underneath...still has the original chassis paint in pristine condition!....I'm thinking about corrosion protection: Ziebart or something similar, before our salt takes its toll!...anyone got any thoughts or advice on this?....I'm not too familiar with under-body...

Thanks for your replies. I have just bought myself a 1998 4.0 V8 P38 with...wait for it....18,000 miles on the clock....absolute mint....you'd swear it had just rolled off the line! My mates cannot believe the condition of it...it turns a few eyes! and all for a fraction of the cost of a...

Hi! Fellow Masochists!...Any of you guys had any experience of Jap Import Rangies?....If so...any issues with Japanese spec vehicles worth noting? Thanks in advance! Des

Thanks for your info!....I really appreciate the level of expurt-ise on this great forum!....I'm of the opinion that it is an HSE....but the VOGUE badge looks to have been in position for ever....no hint of jiggery-pokery!....I'll try and get the VIN and forward it on....Cheers Chaps!....Damn...

Hi! Fellas, I'm looking at upgrading the "Ol' Girl" -'96 P38 DSE to an L322 TD6. I've seen a nice one (2002), it is badged as a VOGUE, but it don't have sat-nav....I've got a sneaking suspicion that it could be an HSE!....How can I find out? I don't want to ask the seller...

Thanks again fellas!....I appreciate you points of view....some interesting info posted by Aaron & Dolphinboy...appreciate your advice. The car I've had a look at is advertised on the local trade directory, but I haven't had time to take a close look at it. The pics show a Vogue badged rear...

Thanks guys....I'm still not sure where to go really...do I spend a couple of grand on the ol' duchess....or do I blow 12 grand on a L322....???? If I'm honest,I'm truly toying with the tart-up option on the P38...she's a '96 with 114K and goes like a dream (mostly)...having a few overheat probs...

Hello Fellow Masochists, I'm thinking about retiring my old duchess (P38DSE) and trying a younger bird (L322Td6). I've seen a nice looking 2002 Vogue with 80k on the clock, but I seem to remember someone telling me about front diff problems/factory...

Hello Folks, I know this is an old thread, but I have only just found it and thought I'd share my experience! My old "Duchess" is a '96 DSE, and I've had her for 5 years now. When I first got her, I wanted to tart her up a bit, so I sourced a pair of "like new" front fogs and a dash switch off...

Merci Datatek!....It's working fine now!:D Silly me....I should have realised that the arm had worked loose on the splines!!:doh:....But since I've been a P38 owner, I just naturally assume something is far worse than what it actually is....which it usually is!:o Merci Beaucoup!

Hello Fellow P38ers, The rear wiper arm on me '96 2.5DSE has just decided to go limp and has droped down vertically!!:eek:....apart from a few viagra in the wash water....any suggestions to what may be wrong....and more importantly...how can I put it right? All...

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I got a tidy lower tailgate for P38 if you want it?...It's in Epsom Green, no major rust or dents, no lights or badges included. Lookin' for 20 quid + postage at cost. If nobody wants it....it'll go on fleabay. All The Breast & A Very Merry Kwissmus To...
