It certainly looks nice.
Usually lurk around the Series and Defender forums since I lost the D2 to an eastern grey.
Well I just bought a P38a, MY2000, 260k km.
Has a few minor issues, EAS of course, although it has 4 new air springs and a compressor. EAS ecu seems to be a little demented.
Oh and a HEVAC blend motor, fun coming
And the brake hydraulic accumulator might be stuffed, not sure yet.
Has 265/60 tyres on 18 inch rims, the fronts rub a little at access height. Not too bad. Speedo reads ~8% low.
Hopefully the 15 year apprenticeship with the D2 will help with the troubleshooting.
I think the PO was happy to see it go - he spent ~$15k over 5 years on maintenance.
Mostly labour to a local ?mechanic?.
So here we go...
Cheers,
Terry

He also has blend motor issues and his owner only has a 13 year D2 apprenticeship...
It helps - a bit.

Welcome to the club
I have yet to come across a really broken AES ECU so I guess it's something else, sensors maybe. The HEVAC blend motors... what can I say they should never have let the french make that stuff (valeo). The accumulator is an easy fix.
If you have any problems, just shoot a message up here!
Cheers,
-P
Thanks for the welcome
Not getting too excited about fixing stuff yet, I will ease into it as needed. Drives ok. 12l/100km, I can live with that.
There is a winch mounted on the front which is coming off. Someone has already walked into it (Ouch)
P38's don't need winches-right?. I know of a Defender it can be fitted to.

Nice well done
A mate just picked up a 4.o ltr not going conv to coils still reg for $400.00
10 minutes diagnoses confirmed fuel pump .
A trip to auto barn and a holden pump purchased and fitted run`s sweet .
is it 4 or 4.6, I wish I could get 12 per 100, mine is 16/17l per 100. The 4litre would be a tad under powered wouldn't it
cheers

Ps twin to mine except mine is 98
Its a 4.6 HSE
12/100 is what the message centre says, highway running.
Tank fill to tank fill, so average, and kms corrected for the tyres was12.3/100. Over 2 tanks (95 litres - that hurt the plastic!)
Performance feels about the same as the Davis chipped TD5, I still miss the torque at 1900 though.
