£1500 4x4. Me again, Would a P38 Range rover be in range...
Discussion
Me again folks
I'm after a 4x4 preferably a P38 Petrol/LPG or diesel Range Rover. Does anyone have one for sale?
I now live in the middle of no where so do need a 4x4 for the winter and fancy an older Rangie however if anyone has any other suggestions
I've previously owned a Jeep cherokee which was a good old plugger so may consider one also.
Thanks folks.
Mike.

So you are saying you are too lazy to look and you want others to find vehicles for you and post links....
Yep Or perchance as has happened in the past a fellow PH'er has said "Yes, I have one for sale"
And I've bought it as it's generally a trustworthy source.
Did you find any

Personally, I'd go for a Jeep Grand Cherokee over the P38. Unless you can find a P38 that's been put on to coils and had some money spent on the electrics, you will be potentially entering a world of hurt.
I did hear that differentials may be a little weak on the grand cherokee?300bhp/ton said:
Personally having one on coils misses most of the point of owning one. The air suspension is fine, just lots of people are scared of it. But it really isn't all that complex.
I'm lead to believe 4x bags, a compressor, pipework and associated electrics?Generally the compressor dies if the bags have a longer persistent leak as it's working harder than it should would be my diagnosis..
Excellent advice, thanks again. Must admit looks wise I'm leaning towards a cherokee and for the amount of miles I will be doing in it wondering if LPG is a necessity.
The hunt is on.... I've emailed a chap near me in Bristol with a green cherokee for £1500 that is on ebay so will see how it pans out...

You do, but as I said above, you can get it done retrospectively. You just need it inspecting, and as long as it's been installed correctly, you'll get the certificate.
Well, actually, slight point of order, you don't get a certificate anymore, it just gets added to the LPG register.

Hi folks,
Thought I would update you, after some headscratching I bought a 4.0 p38 lpg from eBay yesterday, have covered 500 miles so far and touch wood all is well.
It has a bulging history which shows in the last two years, 4 air sacks, compressor, exhaust, all fluids changed regularly, serviced majoritively at main dealers and even better 40k or so ago a main dealer engine and gearbox exchange.
The only negative (which I knew about was the display on the air on screen, there is some of the LCD missing so I'll look into that.
Fingers crossed chaps
Oh it cost £1300 sept mot (no advisories) and has a multi point lpg system

Thanks for the update, its always much more satisfying when the OP returns to inform us of the outcome.... Thought I would update you, after some headscratching I bought a 4.0 p38 lpg from eBay yesterday, have covered 500 miles so far and touch wood all is well.

Good luck with the P38 - I get the feeling itll bend you over sooner rather than later, but for your sake I hope I am wrong
