G'day all,
After a few years of being without a landy, I just bought a P38A.
It's not with me just yet, but will post some pictures once I bring her home. It's a 2001 4.6 HSE, with obviously all the things wrong with it.
Usual culprits, EAS, dash and HEVAC bulbs, and many more I'm sure...
Can't wait to get it home and get involved. I got the landy bug owning a D1, then spent a few years living in the big east coast cities, (yuck).
Now I'm in country WA, the perfect playground for a P38 I reckon, long highway drives, and plenty of offroad fun. My better half has some long term health issues, so her comfort was one factor in choosing one of these.
We'll be having a cup of tea on the tailgate on the beach in no time.
Cheers, Sandman

Goodo. Are you up to speed with the P38, or do you need any recommendations for those crazy enough to service them (not me)? I use DazzaTD5 on here (in Rivervale) for all my mechanical work, but don't know if he will want any more RRs to work on - if so, I'd recommend him.
I have a 1/2 way to P38 hybrid ie 95 RRC with TD5 that has been at Rovertech as a last resort for over 12 months now trying to fix some prior electrical bastardry by others.
About to head up past your way, but sorry can't be a chauffeur as I will be pulling our brick and my bride has to take our daughter's car to Kalbari, then we're off the the Centre and NW Qld, returning via Darwin.

Sounds like a great trip. I've got a mate in mind to drag along.
I wouldn't say I'm up to speed, but I know the drill, I wouldn't have dreamt of buying one without having the brains trust of aulro available. I should probably get the rovertech guys to give it a once over first...

Hi
Welcome to the fun and games mate !!
Enjoy the ride
Steve
Cheers Steve,
I'll be back in Perth Tuesday, for some pics!
Off the top of my head, the repair list looks like:
* EAS (everything probably, starting with new bags)
* HEVAC bulbs and zebra cable, dash bulbs
* SRS light investigation...
* Change for some more modest tyres
* Check the gas tank, if out of date, pull it out, otherwise think of putting it back on gas??
* At least an oil and filter change before I drive it home (on a permit).
It's looking like later in July before I can get it home.
Can't wait.
