- The spares or repair Range Rover P38 joined the fleet around six months ago. Here's the story so far.
Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to do a Club PetrolBlog update (apologies), but I'll sort that in the Safrane video. Thanks for watching.

I bought one of these to tide me over until I found a new L322; never did get another 322. This does everything I need at the fraction of the price. Fitting a Powerbox really helps the drivability. Things do go wrong, but by modern standards they are very simple cars. Folks worry about the air suspension, but it's just a compressor and four bags: changing the latter is the same as changing a spring. The looks have grown on me too. She's handsome I say, handsome.
That's a good point: the P38 is still relatively simple. That will become a positive as the car gets older and new cars get more complex.
Changing an air spring is easier than changing a coil.
I agree with your belief in the P38 values. I always look to see whether a vehicle is being imported from Japan as a mark as to whether they are being considered as collectable/desirable. Great video and keep them coming. I love my 97 4.6 HSE.
Thanks Jon. Only mildly jealous of your 4.6 HSE!
Your videos are not boring..!
Thank you, Timothy!
The P38s have been underrated for some time. Prices are certainly on the up as you say. Would love to have one.
Prices appear to be going up. You should invest in one while they're cheap, although you have a lovely Octavia to keep you occupied!
@@Petrolblog We will see. I'm always on the hunt for something unusual.
The Octavia isn't without its faults mind you. 😉
Awesome P38!
Love the P38 had mine now for 9 years, just done a total rebuild on the engine with top hat liners
@0:12 to 0:21 This has to be the 406's best visual angle, the lighting and rural setting is lovely.
Agreed!
They are very good cars and were very misunderstood when it was new.
Appreciated for a short while, but it wasn't long its reputation went south.
I love it , I had an 02 plate P38 4.6V8, it got me hooked. I currently have a 71 plate L405 Autobiography, another great car but pricy to run
Ooh, would love a late P38. Nice two-car fleet, sir.
The most underrated Land Rover ever made. Must admit I find it amusing that the P38 rusts far far less than an L322
Underrated and unloved, but I think the P38's time is coming.
It's a great useful tool to have around the farm. If you wanted a clean example there's plenty out there wouldn't be a bad idea to one add to the fleet. Late model Vogues are very smart or the rare Holland & Holland which is just gloriously appointed.
Really, really fancy a late one.
@@Petrolblog
Late ones do look slick and have aged very well. Wonder has anyone has done a 4.4 TDV8 engine conversion in one
A V8 power with economy.
You realy ought to get that quarter boot trim out and push out that dent as best you can 😉
Hi I just finish to restaure one 4,6, I have classic, but this car is very nice and great
Got one👍👍👍👍love it
Enjoy it.
My dad has a really reliable 4.0 v8 and I don’t remember anything breaking on it and we have been Greenlaning in wales with no issues i thing it’s a definite future classic
4.0 V8 - winning!
Love the p38 keep the videos coming 🙏
Cheers!
The first is still the best for me. The prices are stupid though. I would find it hard to buy anything connected to BMW. Just don't trust them. Good to see things are progressing well. Good stuff.
Cheers chap.
That was enjoyable. I'm very fond of the P38 but I prefer the L32whatsit. It just looks that little bit cleaner and reputable.
There's something quite regal about the L322, especially from the back. More headroom for a man bun, probably.
@@Petrolblog Oddly enough, I've never seen a bobble hat in a Range Rover of any kind.
Is it me or does the p38 and the beer money sefrane have almost identical alloys
Very, very similar. Of the same era.
This lovely P38 needs some air in the front tires and some new paint on the rear end! Should drive her more! I'd say original is the way to go. I'm no range rover expert but I've heard the air suspension being the biggest worry.
It was being used every weekend until progress was halted by the O-ring! New tyres and refurbished wheels are on the list of things to do.
Mine is on air and will stay that way, whatever. Had a few springers through here, frightening.
M57 Swap is the best way in making this car faster and reliable)
This engine seems OK... for now.
It does the job! Money Pit for the old! Gpx (Inheritance drainer)
Haha! Fair point.
My final act as "President" of PetrolBlog before I'm disposed is to pardon that Goat for any misdemeanours..
If you are watching Oprah, I'm available - competitive rates.
It's Tough at The Top.
Kenny, Kenny, Kenny, you're the President. Ralph is El Presidente. You cannot leave your post without an election or coup.
@@Petrolblog "Remember, You're President.. for life"
We all seen what happened to the goat..
Lovely video. Where did you source the oversize rear number plate? Thanks
Thank you. Try fancy plates.com. They do the Range Rover size.
Sold a mint one 2 weeks ago for 20K
I think @HarrysGarage might disagree with you on the l322 not being a farmers car. I'm pretty sure it's still his bench mark farm vehicle.
To be fair, you and Harry have a point!
@@Petrolblog L322 is a brilliant farmers car, The new l405 arnt bad either depending on what colour interior/ alloys you get with it, The p38 was great years ago when we had diesel ones just like this, A good 4.0 or a 4.6 P38 would be a great buy at present as a future classic.
Hi-line seats and black leather. Somebody spent some spons to buy that new. PM me at P38Addicts for ideas, have a look at the page while you are there. New vids coming soon. Not a lover of the BMW diesel but picked up some knowledge along the way.
Hi Paul. Will do!
I've just taken a plunge and picking it up this weekend! An Ebay buy Yikes! Will it get me home?
Probably not
Well, did it?!
@@Petrolblog it did however it needs the step up/down motor changed which I’ve bought and yet to fit. Meanwhile I am using my little Saxo which will star in my upcoming video I will be uploading tomorrow
I’m a p38 breaker, William Chetwynd on Facebook if you need anything 😄
17:58, I would associate it with wannabe London drug dealers, who want to be "very subtle" if you get the reference...
Haha. Quite.
