Hi bud, having repaired the (death wobble) on my P38 I can say it's not a bad job to do at home, on mine I replaced the steering damper for a good quality one and the drag link + steering arm as well as any bushes replace with polyurethane ( power flex) it's a fairly easy job, if you are having problems with a flat battery try the remote fob sensor on the O/S rear under the trim panel in the boot, there will be a small sticker on it check the colour, I think it needs to be green so it won't be affected by wi-fi. Hope this helps.

Ha, I was just about to comment the same about the box under the rear for the flat battery, beat me to it!

[@roofdownfun]

@@tobyc2173 Just thought I'd mention it, only because mine needs one changing. 👍

[@jsl4228]

Battery goes flat on these P38s if you're parked near a WiFi router that just happens to have the wrong frequency! If you don't mind having to be quite near to the car to lock/unlock it, just disconnect the receiver box which is located in the side of the boot.

I once got locked inside my car, after driving to work, had to pull up to front door of office and honk horn until someone came out, to get help, sunroof auto closed along with windows, ended up driving to Land Rover dealer to get fixed and let out, quoted £160 but actually cost £80, turned out to be broken cable in drivers door 😂🤣

nice looking Rangie lovely colour but it could take a bit of overtime to cover all upkeep costs .. best of luck with it

[@endeavour2968]

I had flat batteries from being near home weather stations, and high power cables under the ground, turned out either disconnect remote central locking antenna or change the receiver to an updated model

@Henry B So what?

[@gregorylawson8346]

Please keep the videos coming 👍

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Thanks Greg, plenty coming!

[@FuelPower]

I know someone who bought one of these at the age of 21. A very nice car but being the V8, the fuel economy was pants and insurance was a killer for a person of that age. It also turned out to be a massively unreliable example.

[@endeavour2968]

I’ve always found insurance on my p38A HSE to be around £400 ish fully comprehensive, about the same as a Volvo v702.5TD

Keep them coming I

[@robertngreen6]

Such a lovely car - but would be hard to live with that fuel "economy"!

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Aaron's on first name terms with EVERY local petrol station cashier..

[@roofdownfun]

In fairness you shouldn't run a V8 petrol 2.5 tonne car if you are worried about fuel economy. 👍

[@projectmildred2940]

should have gone with a moggy like us mate

[@OdykKayne]

I would love to say I am surprised....but I am not surprised :P

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Nor are we...

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

I like your videos and nice car but a why buy V8 petrol? I wouldn’t have one for free having worked for landrover for 12 years I’d only have a p38 if it was diesel V8’s are awful unreliable and uneconomical as your finding out 😁
But good luck with your project

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

It's surprisingly hard to find a diesel for this money and many have huge mileage or turbo/fuel system issues. This 4.0 was relatively low mileage and came up at the right price - believe it or not, it's been totally reliable! 😁

[@benjoconnor36]

@@ClassicsWorldUK I’m looking to buy one soon! What do you class as low miles?
