And at most I have weekends to repair with a small vennel/driveway to do DIY repairs!

Thanks guys, just trying to gather as much info as poss before I jump in and the missus shouts at me for spending the kids savings :-D

Good question.. To be honest the last car I had was a civic type r, and haven driven a transit for the last 2 years, I'm only 25 so insurance is pretty costly so bearing all that in mind, I'm willing to pay money to repair but my biggest fear is buying then paying double the price of the car in...

Sorry to go slightly off topic guys (punish me for being a noob) but say I buy a 4.6 hse for a 1000, is it still viable to get lpg fitted even though its more than the price of the car? I know your gonna say it's your own preference but could there be any problems with doing this? If there is s...

Seriously as low as that? Is every member on this a millionaire? I'm still interested in buying but was hoping for at least 20 :crazy:

The seller told me it is easily reset by a garage with diagnostics and doesn't come back on for a while as he had to do so for the last mot? It's also needs a new centre part to exhaust system, a rear bush and has sagging in the rear roof liner and I got him down to 1000? Still has 7 months mot...

Ahh forgot about piston heads, to be perfectly honest it's squeaky bum time about buying a p38 after reading the problems people have, I do intend to trying do a lot myself, complete novice to mechanics though!! Being a plumbing & heating engineer I'm hoping basic skills will be enough :eek:

Well the car was 16 y/o, every p38 I seem to be seeing are in the region of 1600-2000 and these are ones with faults ( not that they advertise that) is there any better places to look than gum-tree or eBay?

Another p38 another srs airbag problem, I'm guessing this is a very common fault? I've passed on the one I viewed today due to that, didn't quite fancy the 4.6 hse! Think I will be travelling down south to find the right one for the money.

I've found a similar one apart from its the 4.6 hse, needs minimal work so the advert says, roof lining sagging in the back and rear bush needs replacing, will give them a phone tomorrow and report back!

Yeah the guy isn't negotiable on the price, and has just re-advertised on gumtree, listing me a time waster for wanting to "sleep on it" as there was a lot of more serious problems than listed! The joys of buying a used car...

Thanks for the advice guys, think I will pass on this one and hopefully something better comes along!

Sorry it's an N reg, which I think makes it a 95 model? It's the 4 litre v8

I'm getting it for 1200, give or take a few pounds! The last stamp in the service book was in 2011 and was stamped at 120,000, clock says 96000 on it just now but I know that's faulty...

No problems, thanks for your help anyway, it still has 8 months mot, surely plenty time to get to the Bottom of the problem? Maybe...

I'm pretty positive it's just the the impact airbags as the suspension has been changed to coils as he said it was troublesome! Could this be the fault that the air suspension has been removed? Only thing that puts me off is that airbag faults are an Mot failure as for the odometer I'm not to...

Yeah there was no mention of these faults on the advert, give the seller his due he did say it was a trade in and all he had done was tax it, cracking car as well just don't think I have the money for a dealer to do it and experience to tackle it myself

Hi there, new to land rovers, range rovers in general, I've been looking out for a cheap range rover p38 and came across one recently, which I viewed today, and told the guy I'd have a sleep on, the car has an air bag error and odometer error, the seller told me that the air bag is a common...
