So I've read all the posts with interest. So the question is, who's replaced a P38 with a L322 and thought crap wish I ain't done that! Or thought **** now I gotta sell a kidney after their first visit to the garage with it.

So whatcha reckon saint the l322 another money pit?

Cheers Data, sigh so is it another new engine for the p38 and some TLC? Why carnt we build cars like the Germans.

Hi all I've not been on here in ages due to work commitments, which have meant the p38 not been used as much so hasn't had chance to breakdown. I'm considering buying a later model rangie probaly no later than 2005. The question is are they the money pit that the p38 is. What's to look out...

Yea think I've got his number somewhere.

Ill speak to turners! If anyone knows of company's who have a good rep for recon top hat long engines let me know please. As per usual top draw advice from the locals! Thanks

So really then, the best bet is to go for a new 4.0l long engine! Any idea who does good ones?

Yea ill do that, thanks for the advice.

Nope no breakers engines. Theyre two unreliable these v8 It's gotta be a new block with top hats. Was gonna get it from v8 developments

That was my suspicion!

So really then and I'm guessing here, is the box capable of taking the extra power?

Is the 4.6 a physically a bigger engine?

Hi all not been on for a while! hope all the locals are well.I'm looking to put a new engine in my 4ltr p38, but thought about putting 4.6 instead, will the original gearbox be ok or would it have to be replaced because of the bigger engine size.

Cheers saint

Evening.. Just been out in the p38 and I've got a sloshing sound coming from passenger side. took off pollen filter cover and found the filter is wet Half way down to the bottom of it. Is there any way rain water can get in there other than through top cover? how do I get the water out...
