That's really helpful DogsBody, thanks. What are your thoughts on the mileage, I'm wary as I very rarely buy cars with more than 40k on the clock, but will make an exception for an RR, particularly one of that age. How many miles have you put on yours in the year, and has it let you down...

I want it! Where can I get one?

Right then, so having just written off an RX-8 and with the relentless snow a Rangey is back on the agenda once the insurance co. pay out. Seen this one, seems bang on the money but is 70k a risk - I know a lot of you are running much higher milers than that. 2001 RANGE ROVER RANGE ROVER 4.0...

I must admit, having 'We Buy Any Car'd it, and them offering £4500, I did have a pang of 'ouch'. Hmmm, time for a little more umming and ahhing methinks or some serious dealer bashing. Particularly if L322's, albeit with high miles, are beginning to come in around the £10k mark. I want a...

Much umming and aahing last week, and a daliance with a similarly priced loaded 04 ML350, plus the dealer not ringing me to tell me he'd sorted out those issues and it was ready to look at, meant I didn't pick it up as planned. Every time I've seen one since I started looking, I get a little...

Right then, well you may all have noticed the slightly unusual handle I'm using. Well, gentlemen, you have a minor celebrity in your midst. When I'm not drooling over P38's and wondering whether or not it's a good idea to buy one (See my other posts). I'm actually trying to save Britain with my...

Hi Kev1000s That really does look great, did you do it yourself from scratch or was it a kit of some sort?, only i've seen something similar here: Examples of our Vehicles : Rogersons (The red P38) Kit is available on eBay from them for £2800 which is a bit steep! I'm still umming...

Cheers v8rly, thats really interesting, Ill have to have a bit of a look into that. That reads to me as a 6 month warranty without asking! As for the iPod thing, I think I've solved it with this: ICD Direct Control iPod Interface Which you guys may have already seen. But if not, here you go...

*Sound of Alarm Bells* Spoke to dealer today, car not going to be ready until next week now. Tells me it has a small scratch on wheel arch which he's getting sorted, which is fair enough, but also there is an intermittent fault with the SatNav and he has ordered a new GPS unit which he's going...

That was obviously the reason he needed a Rangey then ;)

No, I totally agree and having sounded out 'the boss' today it seems she's ok with a belt fastening, she's got her eye on some funky rear facing jobby. So if that's what she wants and it means I get the rangey then that's cool with me. How have you found your 2001 to be, how long have you had...

Uh-oh, this may be a show stopper. Can any of you chaps tell me if a 2001 Vogue will have IsoFix mountings in the rear seats? I have a 9month old who has an IsoFix set up and if this won't transfer to the P38, this might well kill the idea :(

So, a day spent talking on and off to the dealer and we seem to be well on the way to having ourselves a deal. With a little bit of luck, we'll be picking it up before the weekend and I cant wait :) So, we've established that provided I do all the checks, see the FSH and get the manual and EKA...

Ok, so when I go to see this car I'm: - Raising the suspension to full height to check the bags for cracks - Checking the Oil filler for Mayo - Checking the carpet near the transmission tunnel for wetness/sweet smell - Checking the coolant (Could do with more help here) - Checking the flap...

Thanks J, how/where would I look for them?
