Either stick with the P38 or aim for a later L322 with the 3.6. £5.5k will get you a very nice P38 or a ropey L322

Clutchfix or Valeo HD

P38's take a little more love and attention than a D2 but have a far smoother drive as a result, especially if still on air. Regarding the P38, the diesel is a little slow especially in auto form but is a totally different horse with the manual box. They respond well to an End Tuning chip and a...
