    p38 for towing, what year and diesel or lpg?

    still have these p38's in my head as the jap stuff is significantly more expensive. How mechanically minded do you need to be to look after them. I'm ok with routine stuff like changing oils, filters, diff oils. On the disco had to change half shaft, stub axles and prop shafts. What is the most...

    4.5" lift what prop shaft as mine just dropped off?

    yes it is the rubber donut with 3 bolts, I've had a look at paddock online and seen the kit and wide angle prop, is that the best place to get them?

    don't really have the cash for a landcruiser sadly, ironically the 91 shogun is running great so I guess maybe I'll have to save up and get a newer one in a while. P38 looks great but sounds like its not really reliable as a comfortable towing horse, and the Shogun does the job.

    Some interesting points raised here although the consistent theme is that you have all ended up spending quite a bit on them or are resigned to it being just a matter of time. It wouldn't be a daily driver, probably out once or twice a week and towing at least every fortnight. After reading...

    p38 for towing, what year and diesel or lpg?

    well certainly yes to the muddy, sandy, rocky and wet off road events, although most the roads are like that here in Cumbria anyway :D. Most the sites have parking at the entrance for the tow vehicle and trailer, and either overalls or a change of clothes would be in order, a couple of guys...

    p38 for towing, what year and diesel or lpg?

    wow some real home truths here guys thanks for the replies and for so much honesty. I'm certainly finding even with the disco that it breaks something or other on most outings whereas the shogun has done similar routes before and had no issues whatsoever even on a 91, and so maybe a p38 on a...

    p38 for towing, what year and diesel or lpg?

    Hi Everyone, Just thought I’d ask a bit of advice about P38’s. I’m looking to upgrade my tow vehicle which is currently a lwb 91 2.5td shogun. In terms of value for money the p38 seems an excellent option with excellent refinement, decent engines and they look great. Plus they can tow my...

    Hey, I'm new to Landrovers and recently bought a 1996 300 tdi discovery for a bit off off roading fun. It already has a few mods such as a snorkel, 2 inch spacers on the axles and 2.5 inch extended springs, apparently giving a 4.5 inch lift, has big insa turbo tyres and 30mm spacers, seems...

    4.5" lift what prop shaft as mine just dropped off?

    Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and to off roading, I have bought a 1996 discovery 300 tdi which is fitted with larger tyres, 2 inch spacers on the axles and 2.5" extended springs mounted on top of these spacers so it seems to have a 4.5 inch lift in total.. I have been playing around in...
