Having owned all series 1, 2 and 3 Range Rovers over the decades I would rate the P38 as THE most troublesome.
My Classics were good and for me, way better than the P38. The Classic was not blinged up with loads of stuff which was simply shovelled in to try and keep with the times. The P38 on the other hand was exactly that. Nothing seemed to have been engineered in, just thrust in wherever it would physically fit.
The various L322s I've had have been mixed, including one troublesome one but even that was nowhere near as bad as my P38 "Metrocab".
Think of a well written advert on a dating site (For a woman of course  ) and that's what the P38 was, and still is. It promises the world, including the moon on a stick. What it actually delivers is pain and anguish in spades, almost on a daily basis. The part missing from the description is the bit about a lifetime of cheap plastic surgery to look like that when all the underlying stuff is ancient, knackered carry-over from the old model.
Seriously, you won't be disappointed. Now take all those tools, spray them with duck oil, wrap them in an old towel and put them away. An 07 'Charger won't require them very often.
