Being a bit of a 'Rangie' man at heart, whenever the P38 is mentioned it seems to attract lots of 'Unreliable' grumbles. So what is up with the P38 (Other than sharing it's name with body-filler! smile ) ?

Is its reputation fair or unfounded? I regularly see a metallic red one (diesel) near me and it looks immaculate.

I'm interested in what people know. Muchus Gracious!

Thanks for the replies. I know Pistonheads wouldn't be Pistonheads without a few mother's brother's neighbour's cousin having one that was awful, stories. smile but the P38 does seem to get labelled with the 'unreliable' stick, more than other 'Rangies'

I'll check out the linked thread and maybe the Landrover forum too smile

I posted a similar thread a short time ago while dad was on the hunt for one. Perhaps it might be of help to you.

Thanks for that. I'm not sure I should have read that thread. It's like the who's who of car faults biggrin

Is your Dad's one still going ok?
