As said above about to move from triggers broom - I have had my p38 for 9 yrs but have run out of energy to keep it on the road with the manifold failure - had it been the nearside fine but no it is the off side which is a pig I know have put three engines in this.
Anyway sad day but good day I am off to pick up a 4.2 supercharged 2007 this will be my daily vehicle as indeed the p38 was and in all the years of ownership it only ever broke when I broke it I find them brilliant motors and if looked after they will look after you
Good luck all

Thanks Gents - I use the term loosely I used another forum very successfully and am looking forward to the expertise on this site have sold the lynx diagnostic which I had for the p38 and will buy the 11d tool you all seem to recommend so first saving already marvelous

Welcome, a great wealth of knowledge here  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

from a P38 to a 4.2S/C - is like going from a go-kart to an F1 car - you'll soon see what I mean !

Just don't put your right foot down as heavily as you would with the P38 or you'll ram into the car in front !


.  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

To be fair I used to drive xjr's and still have an xkr so very used to this engine also my p38 was chipped had gas flowed heads etc etc so for an old bus was quite quick but am looking forward to the s/c and have bought it without ever driving one

Welcome.

So first couple of hundred miles done on round trip to work this morning and cannot praise this vehicle enough so have decided to keep it for a year then go 5.0 litre

Nice one!
What's it like driving this compared to the P38? I'll be chopping my 4.6 for a Supercharged in Stornaway Grey as soon as the "right one" comes along.

Right Steve well I drove p38s for 9 years and by the end had the suspension - all aspects working spot on I rebuilt the engine twice and put 2 others in and as follows my motor is a 2007 and I wanted this one as there were a few changes made so have never driven anything earlier and can only describe
the difference as quite remarkable go and try one and you will sell your children to upgrade quite phenominal far more impressive than I would have thought dont wait just do

I think the term "chalk & cheese" is quite apt sir

Never had a p38, I was thinking about it a few years back but having a V8 90, V8 110 and V8efi Discovery 1 thought it would fit in well with the collection but went land Cruiser way for towing and reliability ( 4.5 petrol vx). Going from D1 to FF was the best move I have done in years anything with live axles is so last week, v8 rules you wont regret it....my next move will be 5ltr super charged and frighten my wallet even more!  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!
