    Bad luck mate, hope you manage to fix your P38!

    I think 700mm is only the post face-lift model (2006+?), the new Disco and RRS are 700mm as well. Don't know about the L322, but I do know that the Disco3/RRS bodies are watertight to the point that they float if the water is deep enough . Still need to waterproof some of the modules and fit a snorkel for deep wading though.

    I am interested to know what option you went with for recovery points on your P38 ?

    Got any pics ?

    Hi Dave
    Attached is only pic I have where you can see (part of) the front recovery points... they're the red bits under the front spoiler. This is the last picture of my beloved Rangie before it got towed away last week. The way things are looking I won't be getting it back

    The guys at Hume Off Road in Canberra removed the original tie-down points, then bolted and welded these aftermarket recovery points on. They hang low enough to allow to attach an equalising strap without having to remove the front spoiler.

    They worked a treat when the Rangie sunk in the river and was snatched/towed out, again when it was towed uphill out of the river area, and then 2 more times when it was hauled up on to tilt-tray tow trucks.

    At the rear, I have used the hitch on the towbar to pull other vehicles - remove the tongue and secure the snatch-strap with the pin. The rear bar also has two recovery points but I never got a chance to try them out.

    cheers
    Paul.

    p38 snorkel

    still eas, arnott bags and longer shocks and slightly modded bumpstops. Dual locks and is used for um "unintended off-roading". Piping is run under the guard above the plastic inner guard(which needed heating and stretching in one position). Is not visible. 2.5 inch aluminium pipe with silicone elbows. Hope this helps

    Unfortunate Paul, I feel your pain. This little adventure in a puddle cost me big$$$.
    It wasn't that deep but water leaked in through the door seals and soaked the 15 million computers in the cabin. The becm is under the drivers seat and sent everything crazy. The horn was stuck on, wipers going, lights on etc.

    The funny thing was that were were on our way to get some family photos and I took a cheeky detour on the way. 1130 that night we got home with the Rangie dumped on the front lawn soaked to the bone.
    Ahh good times...
