- About 3 years ago I bought the cheapest supercharged Range Rover in the country for my wife. It has been her daily for those 3 years and she absolutely loves it. I have started to realize that I need a big 4x4 in the winter also so we need another Range Rover. I found this beautiful 1996 Range Rover P38. Driving it home for 6 hours went well however once home it started acting up right away. A week later let's go through everything wrong with my Range Rover P38 and future plans!

W kwietniu biezacego roku , kupiłem swojego RR P38 4.6 Thor . W sumie, nie było jeszcze miesiąca bez usterki, ale przez te kilka miesiecy dużo się dowiedzialem o swoim samochodzie. Są dni kiedy go uwielbiam, szczególnie jadąc z prędkością 60km/h ,gdzie V8 pięknie mruczy przy 1300RPM. A są dni kiedy go nie cierpię, kiedy jadąc przestają działać zegary... Mimo wszystko jest to samochód z duszą i domieszką absurdu Monty Pythona. Samochodu nie należy traktować w kategoriach, na pewno dojadę do celu... Raczej jest to ciekawe hobby.
Pozdrawiam z Polski i życzę dużo cierpliwości do RR P38 😊
Really excited for this project like I said in other coments! I think you try a p38 with well functioning air suspension it does really transforms how it rides and handles but I understand why you want yo keep the coils. I've also mentioned in another coment it sounded to me like brake pump was running longer than it should and you did have the TC light staying longer than usual so I'd suggest checking the brake accumulator
Do people commonly steal fuel from the tanks in Sweden? My Volvo 240 does not have a locking fuel door, but we do not have much of an issue with fuel theft here.
I have a 2000 diesel p38. I’ve had,it ten years now and I love it. One owner before I took it. No corrosion at all. The underneath is gleaming. The engine is bullet proof which I’ve had chipped. It goes like hell ( for a diesel ) . The previous owner changed the oil every 3000 miles.
My first Range Rover was a p38 4.6hse - absolutely loved it. - looking forward to following your journey with yours
I really love the colour it looks very unique, personally I would fit the later front and rear lights and wing indicators to complement the colour and some side steps. The grill just needs a spray of satin black to smart it up, the greying is a big problem on them.
Nice addition Adam.
I also picked up a cheap Land Rover, only mine is a Discovery ll L318.
Its a perfect stable mate for my three Jag's.
Well done!
“I want to get it to be a reliable daily”. You Sir, are the very definition of an optimist!
Look forward to seeing the new wheels on the Range Rover, congratulations on your new acquisition.
As I mentioned before the front drive shafts need to be watched, as the double Cardon joints don't last very well, and the window control modules suffer from cold solder joints but are easily repaired.
I love the air suspension but at the end of the day, coil overs are sorry free for ten years or more. Get the top of the line, though! The spring rates are better and closer to the air set up.
Love the fact that tou ended with all the various warning beeps 🤣. It looks like a great car. Cant wait to see more videos of it 👍
It’s all part of the charm 😂
lovely car. i would put the air suspension back as it is brilliant if maintained simple. easy access and also very good off road too :)
Yes…… the P38 Range Rover!!!! In 1998 I purchased a 1996 HSE 4,6 litre Beluga Black vehicle….if had 28,000 kilometres on the clock!!!! I paid NZ$90,000.00 for it….. the first owner in 1996 paid NZ$165,000.00 for the car!!!! I still have the P38….. but alas everything on it broke!!!! Air 15:16 suspension twice…… the O rings become brittle after 18,000 kilometres…. hence destroying the system!!!! My lock on the fuel decided to stop working!!! The headlining collapsed like yours!!! Water pump shat itself!!! Cruise control died!!!! Sunroof fell out!!! Air con died!!! And every time you started the vehicle it was like Christmas!!!! Bloody lights and bell rings and flashing all the time!!!!
Basically the P38 was a bridge to far for Land Rover!!!!
A brilliant idea but alas the build was very compromised!!!! And when BMW bought the business they shat bricks sideways!!!!
I would like to restore the P38….. but I have a 1972 suffix A two door Range Rover to do first!!!
My daily drive is a 1990 3.9 litre 4 door Range Rover…. I have owned it from NEW!!!! 280,000 kilometres on the clock!!! An excellent car!!!
I look forward to seeing your next video on how to luv a P38!!!!

Has the same engine block as my tvr you have a nice rangerover
I miss my P38, all those random beeps, it was like living with R2D2 on speed.
Duckworth Landrover can help with badging will have what you need.
Thanks for the tip!
I go ride of my air shocks on my P38 2002 and have not missed it......ride is just as good
Complete air suspension system?
upgrade the stearing damper if it has not alreasy been done, improves handling no end, mine is a Terrafirma example.
Love the Range Rover, hope you have loads of luck with it.
Think it was the best Range Rover ever but I would put it back to air suspension so when you came to a holt it would lower auto and when off roading could be raised over humps.
Get winter tyres on the other wheel set
I have the same wheels. They are the best wheels i think, and especially when matched to Willow Green, which beats the face off all other P38 colours.
You need to get some center caps for those wheels bud.
With tyres, If you go above 30-ish inches tall, you are going to run into issues turning full lock, you wont be able to without scrubbing the mudflaps and wheel arch liner. There are tons of tyres between 29 and 30 inches.
If you buy.a nanocom it will give you a live temperature readout.
Hello Adam . Did you say what you paid ? For a 27year old vehicle it's in really good order and the faults will take time but not too much money. Well done Adam.
Hi John, around $2,700. I think that I have done well
😂😂😂 stop beeping at the end! 👌
I absolutely love my p38 I use it every day to run my Landscape Gardening business, I used to do it in the Discovery 1 you just can't beat it!
This is my first video of yours , really enjoyed it mate 👌 funny enough I also drive a jaguar xj V8 couldn't help but hear you drive jaguar's too! What do you drive?
They’re great! I drive 9 classic Jaguars, mostly 70’s. Got a Rover P6 V8 too. I daily a 1975 XJ6. Always got plenty of fun things to show. Also recently opened up my classic car restoration workshop. Try to keep it pretty diverse on here.
@@LivingWithAClassic nice I'll give you a subscribe mate! My channel is a little different to cars but I do love my classics! And it's also good incase you happen to have one of my problem's on the p38 or even if you get one I've had before happy to try and help out 👌 I would say give us a subscribe but not sure how much interest you'd have in my line of work , keep the videos flowing mate, I do have one of my icy drive over the tops of the golf course where i live in the snow the other day though, almost lost it on some thick ice , not put much of that up though but I did manage to get down safely, not many vehicles would of managed that 👌🔥💪
@TheWelshGardener-ElmerAndSon I’m guessing you do gardening? I do want to check it out later. I live on a farm with a lot of nature around and do enjoying working in the garden too
I'm sorry you have to give it to me I was born on Aug 11th and the reg is perfect :).
Noticed the bonnet sound insulation is missing. Mines was the same and fitting the insulation was absolutlly transformational.....enjoy, I'm on my second one and and the reliability ain't that bad.
I had a Mercedes ML320 and that (with half the mileage) truly was an absolute nightmare !
The ML320's were the beginning of the end forMercedes Benz quality. They were built cheaply and do not age well. We had one and it was a money pit.
@@mikedx2706Which Ml’s the first or 2nd model? I hear good things about the 2nd post 2007 Ml’s
Tailgates on them are renowned for rusting!
Your thinking of Range Rover classics! P38’s unless underwater don’t really corrode 👍
Are you going to underseal the Range Rover before winter?
I owned a 2002 Lincoln LS 3.9 that vehicle looks so much more heavier w/ such a small displacement- I would help those original wheels since they look in great condition as spears Enjoy your channel You know your stuff w/ out all the Hyped up Testosterone 👊
What is the price of gas in Sweden?
The highest in Europe 😂
@@LivingWithAClassic Holy hell!
never normally see any rot on a p38 chassis. The air cleaner look an eye sore.
Looking for the original one if you have one
Does anyone know how much he paid for it?
Nope, I haven’t told 😉
@@LivingWithAClassic Im trying to see how much I should sell mine for. Whats market price right now in fair condition?
@AontheArtist depends where you live. Seem to vary a lot around the world
@@LivingWithAClassic I live in the US! Do you think I could get at least 5k?
@AontheArtist I have no idea sorry. I know the European markets better
I bet the Range Rover script on the boot was removed as the letters have a habit of dropping off. Mine has sometimes been an Ange Rover and also a Range Over. I keep sticking them back on, they always drop off when I wash it 😂
I’m going to change mine to HANG OVER
I would want to replace the headlining , ASAP, it would annoy me every time i looked at it .
Would carpet spray glue work ? Maybe small hole poke through the nosel tube and spray the inside of the roof and re stick the lining. That's what I would try before replacing the lining. But I'm very cheap person 😂
if your using it off-road and bad weather I would convert it back to air suspension
I won't really be off-roading maybe just a few times to try it out
You were lucky!
Manual seats are a big plus on a Range Rover. It's one less electrical gremlin to spend money fixing!
Be thankful for the coils suspension. Many RangeRover owners has experienced big problems with the air suspension.
Looks like that Rover suffers from the dreaded "Tres Amigos" of warning lights. Well known offenders here in the USA.
It has no warning lights at all
@@LivingWithAClassic Oh, I thought the Tres Amigos had made an appearance during your drive home with the Range Rover. Sorry for the insult.
👋
Change the wheels and the car will change!
The wheels are 😖
