To be fair, I skipped the P38 and went Discovery TD5….. but I think they are coming into their own now. Decent ones not stupid expensive….. yet….

Another few hours checking things over and I must say apart from the rear wiper not working, the motor brushes are worn to nothing I stripped it down and checked everything else is good.

Indeed Rob, thor v8 engine 4.6. Took it for a spin currently showing 18.5 mpg better than the wife's D3 . Still prefer the L322 it's surprising but this now feels small, slow and bumpy lol |

They do feel small in comparison to later RRs and Discos. Mrs H’s D5 is huge in comparison. They are definitely slow…put your foot down and the engine makes more noise but the car stays the same speed, a magic trick! |

I also still have a P38 since 2010 4.0 Westminster it feels antiquated to drive compared with the 4.2 now |

I am finding the p38 some what erm stone age like......compared to my L322 which is only 3 years newer but the bmw version of what a range rover should be.
