AUTODOC is the best! Plus love the content. Literally nobody else is doing p38s! Very refreshing 😊
Thanks, there will be more on the way soon!
ooooh a trip to Europe, how exciting. Nice to see the P38 getting there.
I wonder who we might see there?!
Yes! Been waiting for P38 videos for a while! I got stuck with mine as it stopped working. We got it working sunday after getting the air out the diesel lines by cracking the injectors and i got so excited. It was however shortlived as one night later, it stopped firing again. I tried cracking the injectors again, but to no avail, more a two person job than one. But i've been rather disheartened. There is some good news remaining however, the Air suspension is working without issue, goes up, goes down, sets its own height. So i have that at least.
Wow, P38's are 30 years old now! I remember it on the cover of Car magazine alongside the then-new Jaguar XJ6. Your one is a credit to your hard work, and to Autodoc too of course.
I know! It still feels like a 10 year old car to me, as that's about when my dad used to own them. But even my 4.4 TDV8 is nearly 14 years old now 😅
So pleased to see the P38 back on the channel. I've been working hard on my own P38 and now need to do a load of suspension bushes. Keep up the awesome work Sam!
Autodoc
Nice to see the P38 back :)
Mine was feeling very underpowered so I tried adding some wynns turbo cleaner. It took a while for it to work but what a massive difference it made. I now use it once every two years 👍
Currently restoring a 2001 Audi Allroad that’s been off the road for a few years. AUTODOC have been a saviour for getting hold of all the parts and at unbelievably competitive prices. Don’t know how I could be doing it without them!
Great video as usual Sam. Fingers crossed that I might be in with a chance to get the power tool for my own P38 using the magic autodoc word! Delighted with my CVRT pass today, hope yours went through this evening 😉
Looking forward to seeing how you repair the window switch pack, mine is doing the same 🙄 👍
I’ve a ‘97 4.6 gems beastie that’s in need of some TLC so I shall be scouring AUTODOC (and using the magic code) for some of those hard-to-find parts
I'm in the process of swapping out all the airbags on my 2001 4.6 P38, it'll be suspension bushes as well so I'll be interested to see your video on the topic!
You're very lucky to have AUTODOC as a sponsor. Love the P38 content.
Nice to see the P38 back. The Autodoc brand spark plugs seem to be working fine in my L322 V8.
....teasing us with the 130 in the background Sam!
Glad themirrorsand bits worked out. Dont forget to put the aluminium inlet on too. You are definitely going to be loosing some boost pressure out of the hole in the plastic one.
Cheers again Tommy! I tried to fit the ally one but apparently they have a different stud pattern to the plastic ones. So I have fitted another plastic one now 👍
Great videos. I have just recently bought a 1998 p38 dsl auto. Very similar to yours. Same green colour and same colour interior. First job get eas back working
Sam a great series on the p38 . Well done . Great support from Autodoc 👍🔧
Glad you are enjoying it!
great videos, Autodoc are helping bring the P38 back onto the road
Despite being underpowered, she sounds really good and is becoming a great looking original car.
Originality was my goal with this one, Paul! Looking forward to giving the bodywork and paint some love this summer.
Good to seethe P38 back. I’m busy getting mine nice and clean for the Land Rover Show at Gaydon where quite a few P38’s are appearing for the 30th anniversary. Autodoc.
As an M51 owner, albeit a TDS e36 it’s nice to hear another that sounds like it’s rattling it’s tits off too! Completely underrated powertrain, I’d love to own a manual p38 diesel!
I’m very fond of it despite its underwhelming performance in the hefty P38. Definitely would be better with a manual. If I keep the truck she may end up with an M57 but I’ll be holding onto the M51 for future projects. Would be really cool in an old Jag or another classic saloon.
Watched your channel for ages. AUTODOC will come in handy when doing work on my other half’s Mitsubishi L200. Also help a mate out with his L322
Another good video Sam and AUTODOC would be handy 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎
Absolutely! Cheers Jimmy
Good stuff Sam. I fixed the intermittent windows on mine by stripping the switches right down and using a copper conductive paint pen to replace the contacts which had warn away. Can send you pics if you need. I’m still very pleased with the atoto s8 I put in mine but the attenuator circuit is a bit of a pain.
Just rushed out to check my shocks.... bit wibbly wobbly, explains why it doesn't ride as well as previous P38s? Trip to Autodoc in order? Just pulled my L322 out of COVID hibernation, what to do, P38 or L322? I love both of them, just need a Classic now!
It’ll definitely help to have new fully functioning dampers! That’s a long time for an L322 to hibernate, hopefully she isn’t too grumpy!
@@SamsMotors Nope, other than blowing a brake line on the way home and the slight whiff of damp... everything working OK, forgot how nice she is to drive compared to a P38. Thought I might have starter motor issue but turned out to be a dodgy battery and poor ground clamp. She fired straight up, think she is still on E5 fuel? lpg is almost the same as petrol near me so she will have to be weekend toy. I did look after her before COVID with the finest fluids and parts money could buy... gaffer tape and tractor oil!
Only vehicle i oven that had a bible instead of a handbook in the glove compartment!
I got a fearne full size intercooler and remapped ecb installed (like night n day).
But still after upgrading it on the steering damper binning the viscus fan for a kenlowe, upgrading the main bulbs to 150w.and replacing the airbags it was unreliable. The intercooling was good and improved its economy strangely enough.
Overall, too over engineered with BAD quality.
Peddled it and got a l322 - much better.
Many a job to do on my L322 which the AUTODOC drill would be handy for also for the other project cars, an Alfa Romeo Spider and MGBGT, you can never have enough tools...
Definitely got your work cut out with those!
@SamsMotors yes the tin worm in the Alfa is the biggest job to do! Keep the videos coming. Really, enjoy them interested to see what you've got planned for the 130 Cummings.
I am a big customer of AUTODOC for my L322 and other cars; you can’t beat the price, but I have to say that you need to plan ahead; delivery within the EU tends to be about a week; to the UK, up to two weeks or more. As long as you aren’t in a rush, I haven’t found better pricing. I had heard that in the past they’d substitute (without asking!) their house brands for name brands that people order (using the excuse that they’re giving you a more expensive part for the same price) but I’ve never had that happen, and haven’t heard that complaint lately. Oh, another issue: if you don’t order right away (you leave the items in your basket), you’ll find that prices fluctuate daily… if you wait a couple of weeks, though, the prices will eventually return to the attractive price you found to start with…
All fair points! Here in Ireland it's about 7-10 days for delivery which as you say, is do-able as long as you've planned ahead.
I just painted my P38s front bumper in body colour, Arizona Riviera blue, and it's changed the look of the car completely!
I didn't want a full colour coded one, so I did half plastic, half body colour. I also painted the lower spoiler and I'm super happy with the result
I use AUTODOC alot as the choice of brands is nice, I pretty much bought everything Febi Bilstein or as close to BMW oem for when I rebuilt my P38s M51
Interesting I’m just about to get a half coloured one for mine. My bumpers are grey, I can’t figure out whether they were black to start with and have faded badly or were grey to start with. I even bought an original brochure but it’s not clear from that either!
@@peterwarner8541 For the plastic parts I painted them with Motip bumper spray. It's a long lasting laqcuer that makes it look original and clean.
Better than those bumper and trim gels that last 3 days at most!
AUTODOC love the content as always!!!
It would be amazing if you could keep the original head unit, but slide one of those bluetooth casette things into it to somewhat modernise the car enough that it wouldn't be a hassle to use frequently. I always find my heart breaking a touch when I see aftermarket head units that don't even try to look era accurate.
That would be cool! I think it should be possible to integrate a bluetooth module into the head unit - need to do some research!
P38 event, wish I'd kept my Vogue 50 (badged no.38), still very content with 4.4TDV8. Always tinkering with TDV8 and home DIY so AUTODOC drill would be super handy
Hi Peter, you’re the lucky winner of the drill! Thanks for your comment and support of the channel! If you let me know your email, either here or by emailing me at samsmotorandmachine@gmail.com I will put you in touch with AutoDoc to claim the drill 👍👍
@@SamsMotors Amazing!! Thanks so much, and thanks for the ongoing great content. My first Rangie was a P38 2.5 HSE Plus, then Vogue 50, L322 TD6 (wheezy underpowered), now the first class L322 4.4TDV8, still a winner over the 405 and 460 many think
@@PeterKnotts hi Peter, can you just confirm your email address please? I will delete the comment as soon as I see it.
@@SamsMotors email sent
Did you ever fix your ride on the l322? I recently bought one with vdc and when I bought it the battery had gone low and it was in a “towing” mode I’d say as it was riding the same as when I’ve had a trailer on my old l322 with vdc. This made me think whirl watching your videos on it, have you ever checked the towbar electrics or considered removing them temporarily to see it it helps? When I towed the rear went hard and the truck bounced even when the trailer had no weight on it so I shouldn’t have felt it. Anyway just thought I’d mention it in case it helps.
What was that event you mentioned at the start?
That Mic is impressive if the audio being recorded is not dubbed after the fact while you are standin at the bonnet talking to camera. Looked to be blowing hard in the background
It's a good wireless mic setup aye! Glad you noticed!
Easier to work on than L322’s 😂
Much, I remember thinking my 2.5 DSE felt over-complicated back in the day, but it seems like working on a 2.25D Series 3 now by comparison!
@@SamsMotors good to see a p38 been bought back to its glory ….the start of RR electronics 👍
About 80% easier to replace on your P38 than a Hilux,
😮 I thought Hiluxes were about as simple as it gets?!
@@SamsMotors That appear to be a myth after all there are loads in scrapyards; scrapyards that are all about 400 miles away from me. I had to replace rear dampers. The bolts are hidden in a recess in the chassis in a groove. The bolts were rusted and rounded off so to remove them i had to cut holes in the floor, then grind bolts out. As soon as it's roadworthy and safe, it's going. That don't make sense i know, but so fed up with it. Also the ride is really harsh. Another thing is Hilux owners are not the most friendly and helpful of people. When i had BMW's everyone wanted to offer hints and tips. Hilux owners just don't want to know.
problème de voyants: ABS et SRS et injecteurs toujours allumés faut-il faire un diagnostic ?
Get a Nanocom plugged in to read the codes 👍
How often I'll use the P38. Nope, no you won't. You have a 4.4 l322 to use
One of the worst cars we owned unfortunately, P38 was a really troublesome one to keep running properly
