The problems mainly relate to slipped liners (common problem) - that required the new motor and was the cause of the LPG backfires. Ths liner slipping was due to manufacturing errors - the liners weren't pressed fully home when the engines were built.
I think it had the slipped liners from overheating due to a 2/3rds blocked radiator. By the time that was found, it was too late. I suspect it had slipped liners when I bought it. At that time, the problem wasn't as well known.

Keep it
Us P38a owners need your knowledge
Also when you redo your motor and swap out, sell on the old one to "someone" so they can do the same!
The costs arenot all that bad????
Even the wifes crummydoor with reco diff, box work runs up bills
Strewth you could buy another P38 for the cost of that lot!Quote:

In comparism, the previous owner has already clocked up around 25000km in his new Sport that replaced the P38.
The radio packed it in recently but that was a cheap(ish) fix by Clarion.
All the known problems had been sorted out by the time it came into my hands (**Scouse crosses all his fingers & toes).
