HillmanImp Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I know absolutely nothing about these, my entire knowledge is based upon what has been written on here by members of this forum. Yet, despite this and the apparent absolute certainty that it will expensively grenade itself within 20 minutes of setting off in it, leaving you with a worthless car stranded miles from home after stumping up for travel, insurance and personal time, you are actually all buying tickets for it. Was it all Quentin Wilsoneqsue lies and generalisation? Are they actually not that bad or does everyone simply ignore their own advice? Obviously the 'funny' way to end this post would be to buy a ticket but its only 1.15pm and I'm not pissed yet, just tipsy so will leave it for now.

I don't know what QW ever said but the lack of grenadage has been disappointingly apparent during the Junkman's ownership. I've been out for a short passenger ride in it and nothing fell off, the air suspension was even demonstrated with no explosions or computer based wobblies. As such please accept these words as a cast iron warranty that nothing can possiblei go wrong. Junkman and beko1987 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 To be fair, the water pump did grenade four odd days into my ownership, to much hilarity. A 39 quid repair, which hitherto remained the only expense I had aside from petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 My honest conclusion: An example that has survived the past 20 odd years can't be a time bomb on its last ticks before doomsday.The car had sat for weeks when Chaseracer came to look at it and then it did need a tickle with the jumper leads,which is no surprise. Once they were attached, it started right up, gave two seconds of lifter rattle, as expected,then immediately went into suspension aerobics without any further ado. The dreaded liner slip issue was explained to me by the recovery man, who is a serial P38 molester himself.He said, it mainly affects cars that are used for hauling heavy trailers, or which are constantly abused otherwise.The high torque demand during such shenanigans distorts the engine in the engine mount area, ultimately thisleads to the defect.Now look at mine, 89k miles, it never had a tow bar and I have yet to find myself in a situation that calls for full whack. This car was bought by me for a reason, the very reason fell through and thus I'm selling it. That's it.There is no trick or false floor from my side. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longblackcoat Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 You know what? I'm feeling lucky, so I'll have 44 as well please. Not that the number 44 is, in fact, even slightly lucky.

Obviously the 'funny' way to end this post would be to buy a ticket but its only 1.15pm and I'm not pissed yet, just tipsy so will leave it for now. I reckon the tide is turning for the P38. There is an article this very month in a Land Rover licker mag giving extensive suggestions about how to avoid a bad one - this alone suggests it is possible. Interestingly, they list the virtues of the P38, including that it's not the instantly dissolving rust bucket that other LR products can be. Junkman's appears mostly untampered with too - the phase of economics which led the previous owner(s) of my Rangie to fit a diesel engine and junk the air springs for coils has passed it by and the good news at this distance is that air springs are no longer the instant bankruptcy they were. At least, that's what I keep telling myself Of course someone on PC tried running one for a while on the basis "they can't be that bad" and gave up after concluding they can indeed.

It is a completely GAWJUSS example which drives beautifully, and I am gutted that circumstances dictate other than a situation of immediate buyage.
