Thread: A new P38 owner

After owning 2x Disco 2s, both V8s but manual and auto I've now found myself a Rangie. Bought it from up Brisbane way, MY99 HSE, black with the creamy interior with only 105k on it with full service history. Happy days.

So far I've started ripping out the HK sound system as the speakers are dead and the head unit/stacker are yesterdays tech and replaced with a modern bluetooth/MP3 Kenwood setup. The plan is to stick with the 3 way speakers up front but buying decent ones with a proper amp. The woofers in the boot section were dead and will be replaced with a nice little one installed in the factory box.

Long term plans? I've got a Ford 5.0L engine stripped down ready to be machined and sourced another ZF to dummy up an adapter to the Ford. There's nothing wrong with the 4.6 in it but more torque to tow my boat on the highway is what I want! I'll offload the 4.6 and accessories to someone who wants to upgrade their LR.

As of tonight, I've been struck by two problems. A dead alternator which ended up being a stuck brush in the regulator(bought a new reg for $30 brand new) and the EAS christmas tree. More fun

Apparently most of the versions brought into Oz were low compression
