Love it! These are so under-rated! We have had these in the family since they were almost new (went to the world wide launch as a kid) and many family friends have had them. There has never been a bad one. I currently have a 2001 Vogue as a daily driver and it has never let us down yet. Thanks for the unbiased reviews.
I love my p38, i know they get a lot of negative press but we have been all over the country in ours and never had a problem, other than an abs/traction control fault which was a sensor. Love the beeps and bongs at the end 🤣
Here in the US, the P38 was considered as "bland" styling compared to the Classics it replaced. Many thought it looked like any other SUV (such as the Ford Explorer, etc). It is my understanding RR had disappointing sales here until the 322 was released in 2003! Sales rebounded fast because the 322 "looked" like a Range Rover! The P38 was a dramatic improvement compared to the Classic. Same analogy would be when Rolls Royce released the "modern" Silver Shadow replacing the aging Silver Cloud!
I saw one for sale at a local junkyard. I thought about buying it for a minute, then I moved on. :) For the winter I want simple reliable fuel efficient car.
Hi Adam have had 3 p38s over the years 2 diesels that no mater what I did could not get to start from hot and cut out randomly on motorway and a 98 4.0 same as your one very reliable but at about 15mpg to thirsty here in uk to runall time do miss them tho great vehicles all the best donny
I fitted a unit on my diesel that fools the motor to start in a rich condition even when hot, (usual symptoms for long crank when hot) been fitted for the last four years, starts like a champ all the time.
@@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854 I also replaced the in tank fuel pump, non of the aftermarket types appeared to have a non return valve incorporated, so I fitted one in the hard line under the bonnet, just to eliminate the potential to back syphon over night, not been an issue since.
@@chrisgreenwood271 tried all that even changed all injectors and hp fuel pump was never fixed always did same thing cutting out and hot start even hap pump calibrated by landrover
You're helping to turn the P38 reputation to the positive side of the ledger. Well done!
I hope so
Super brave opening that sun roof.

I was pretty impressed with mine on the snow a couple of weeks ago, was the first tme I had it on the snow and its amazing.
I’ve got pretty good snow tires on it. Will want to get studded next time

It’s all part of the experience 😂
They do get a lot of negative press but I think people are starting to understand them now.

Glad the P38 has been proving you with good service, it can only get better in your ownership.
So far I am really enjoying it!
Hi Adam . As always . Never a problem , always a solution ....... thanks Adam
My pleasure!
I saw one for sale at a local junkyard. I thought about buying it for a minute, then I moved on. :) For the winter I want simple reliable fuel efficient car.
Glad it's been good to you. I actually like those
It’s really grown on me
If you want to give that vehicle a name, may I suggest "Walther"?
I do like that! I thought of Peggy so far. Since the the P stands for Pegasus in P38.

@@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854 wow, that's some expense, got to draw a line at some point.
I had p38 in 1996 & again a new 4.0 in 2000 have super charged now but I must say I do miss p38 I may just purchase another
They’re great!
Glad the P38 is serving you well it should be fun when you get to go off roading thanks for sharing Adam.
I’m glad you liked it
I LOVE your P38. After 1000 miles, how (un)economic was is on fuel?
I haven’t actually checked 😂 My guess is not so good
@@LivingWithAClassic it's the best answer you could give 🤣
miles in Sweden?
Imperial miles
Kilometers can be converted to miles :)
