    Looking at that first photo I was thinking that's game with no snorkel... shame it didn't end well

    Makes me even more keen to sort out a snorkel before getting too adventurous with mine.

    I know of 4 people who've drowned a P38 on aulro (myself included).

    Snorkel should have been a factory option but Land Rover obviously assumed they'd never be used off road!

    I hope you get the P38 nursed back to life soon, I've been following this thread with great interest and will be looking for Ashcroft ATB diffs, HD drive shafts and double cardan propshafts in the near future.

    For now though I'm off to read some of the P38 snorkel threads, it suddenly feels like a higher priority.

    Very well for a truck that has open diffs. I love the P38

    I think ABTs are in the P38s future

    Did the pistons breaking get caused by water entering the engine?

    Just wondering... Why doesn't anyone bother to use a Fording Blanket these days? Tarp across the nose could improve the under bonnet (clamshell assisted) pocket of air trapped...

    I can envisage a hand prepped 4.6, capable of a few more revs & many more HP filled with fewer rover bits.

    Looks like I was fortunate!
    Now I know why Landrover places BECM under driver seat, it is sacrificial!!!
    It knocks out the engine before it gets a chance to take a drink

    Thats unless you go at it like a bull out of a gate of course.

    I'm sure this will just ensure the Project will come back better & stronger.
    Keep us up to date with progress it may take your mind off the cost at least.
    regards, Martin
