Thread: P38A Range Rover

A huge subject, and you will find all the information you need at www.rangerovers.net.

Remember one of the best features of the RR is the self levelling suspension. Personally I have had few problems with my P38.

My folks used to use a 4.6 HSE to tow their big caravan (not sure of the length). Expect fuel consumption to be up to 30+ litres per hundred...

My normal consumption 4.6 HSE on a highway run, no trailer 13.5 L/100km.

Syd - Bris with 1.5t boat trailer 17.5 L/100km. All sitting on the speed limits.

The 2001 P38's from my knowlwdge seemed to be a much better example than the earlier models. A bloke in the Rangie club's got a 2000 Model HSE and bar a dodgy AFM< or sensor (not ure what system they have in that model), it's been trouble-free. Been across the Simpson and all around the place without any hiccups

Dad's got a 98 4.0 with 190K on the clock. In the 2 1/2 years he's owned it, the suspension and the HVAC system have been the biggest areas of expediture (all up about $6K), but wouldn't trade it for the world Unless it was a 2001 Rangie like you're describing.

Tell him to get a deisel cruiser if hes pulling something. I love Range Rovers but will never go near a P38. My dad has had one for nearly 5 years now and never ending problems..

PM me if you want the list.. be a few pages worth

Thanks Everyone. We looked up towbar specs and the RR is 250kg, LC is 350kg. I think this alone may sway them.

Yeah for sure. My dad is just about to get a 22 foot 4x4 caravan and hes not considering using the HSE for towing that up the cape..all talk is of a turbo diesel cruiser but realistic I guess.

By crikey that's a high limit. Would he have that sort of tow ball weight?
