They are Malatesta Kobra's It gets really muddy mid Nov through to about end of March and I regularly tow a game trailer. They might still be overkill, but I'd rather than than get stuck as often as I did last year in a Shogun on ATs. They are not as noisy as I thought they would be...

Here's a picture of mine. I use it around a farm 2 - 3 times a week, although I don't think I needed to fit the muds just yet as it is all still so dry. However, having got them they had to go on.

;) I recon the roads get pretty muddy sometimes It only goes about 4 - 5 miles a day on the road. The rest of the time it is in fields and lanes. I always get excited about putting the muds on, but by end of March I can't wait to take them off again and get the road rubber back on.

I fitted the winter rubber today. It is not that wet and muddy yet so I am probably a few weeks early, but I had to see what they were like after seeing them on the rims. They are Malatesta Cobra's 265/75/16 I have had to trim the front mud flaps to stop some rubbing on hard lock, but they...

I was down buying some wheels of RRB a few weeks ago and saw the stuff in the parts area. Nice stuff, and the friendly advice on how to keep her on the road has already come in handy. I'd take his advice if I were you.

These are on ebay, and I'm looking for a second set of smaller wheels. I think they are from a Disco, so will they fit the P38? Land Rover Discovery 16 inch alloy wheels & Tyres.CHEAP | eBay

Affectionate term for any vehicle you are driving. In this case the P38

I am looking to use the van off road in the winter, mainly around and about on a farm. It is therefore likely to be more muddy than anything else. I have a couple of friends who have Disco's and a few farmers with Defenders and the opinions are divided. Cooper STTs are rated pretty...

I just got a quote from these guys for a family fleet. Clegg Gifford, Lloyd's Broker - Personal & Commercial Insurance Broker the Fleet is Zafira, X5 and the P38. it is only an increase of £280 to add the P38 doing it this way, rather than about 800 if I was to try and start a new policy on...

ok, let me use different language. I did what you suggested and did some more reading. when I said Who said anything about the ECU controlling the Turbo.....what a numb nuts. The numb nuts was me, saying I realise I had got it all completely wrong. Not trying to insult anyone else. I have...

Who said anything about the ECU controlling the Turbo.....what a numb nuts. 3 cars later, no end of pub talk about turbo winding up and I have been a salesmans dream. List of mods to the P38 so are are new oil. New Filter Grease where grease should be put was going to have a new set of air...

The truth isn't patronising just your turn of phrase a little, and I agree a little knowledge can be dangerous. I never said the ecu adjusted the boost to match fuel. I said the ECU was electronically controlling the level of boost. That is the way it was described and explained, even if it...

I've been doing a bit more reading up, so will see what connectors I have and do a write up on fitting one. shortly, hopefully this weekend.

I have the HK stereo with Multi changer in the RR, but want to add bluetooth capability for hands free to the stereo. Has anyone got any experience of retrofitting a parrot type system to the standard stereo, or am I better considering replacing the stereo with one which already has the...

people like me. Love it. Patronising and condescending at the same time. I'm sure you are far more mechanically and technically minded than I am, the amount of answers you provide on the forum show you know your stuff. I only have what I have seen on the computers and the Dyno and the...
