Thread: P38A - what to do?

fix the spare 4.6

and keep it.


there would be NOTHING comparable for comfort and safety on the market for the selling price of your P38








conversely ,, I do have a D1 V8 for sale

So true

Can't go from the comfort of a P38 to a Disco

Camo

$3k engine rebuild is cheap maintenance these days.

It's a time bomb! Whats the next thing to go on it and cost you thousands more than it's worth? Cut your losses and get rid of it while it's running ok.

sell it!

sell it now!!!!!!!

I wouldn't think any vehicle is worth having if it gives you as much grief as your P38A.
Knowing that it is only a matter of time before it leaves you stranded and broke would be too much for me.

I think if you do sell it you will live longer due to decreased stress levels

As for what you should replace it with.......another Landy of course. As to which model that is up to you.

Ron you need to ask yourself what do you want out of a car over the next five years?

If a town car you could keep the P38 and allow a certain amount of money each year for repairs knowing that as the car ages each year you will spend more money.

If a daily drive with some trips every now and again go a Disco.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Ron, keep it, its like an old comfy pair of shoes.....

your lucky you have the know how and access to the tools and workshop to fix it when it goes wrong. Get the engine done (locally) and enjoy it.....

I have been very upset with mine the past few months nad looks like I finally hit my electrical gremlins for 6 by doing some rewiring the past weekend. I am still upset with it but after driving a work car (outlander/380/crumydore/pajero) they just don't have that character or homely feel.

Are you going to get the old series going? As one of the reasons I am doing my old classic project is so when the P38 wont start one morning I can still get to work on time as at least one of them has to run

Trade it in on a fender
