Why The Range Rover P38a Deserves Space In Your Garage
The car is complicated and, being a pre-ODB2 vehicle, you need specialist tools to read the electronics. These tools cost serious money; in reality, you can buy a good P38a for the same price as the cheaper diagnostics tools. Most owners bought their P38a because of the cheap market price. For what you get - luxury, comfort, usability - pound for pound, nothing offers more. Handing over 500 sheets for a car, very few then treat the cheap vehicle with any form of mechanical sympathy, resulting in sketchy and poorly maintained P38 Range Rovers flooding the market. Solid examples are now few and far between. In a nutshell, to enjoy driving a P38a you need to want to understand it. Should you just want a car to drive through lakes and hammer over rough terrain, then park up for a month before repeating, a second-generation Range Rover is not for you. If you get to understand the car, you will soon realise that most problems are simple to solve, unlike the electronic issues of more modern cars.
The past couple of days I've been laying out the brake lines, using the purpose-made kit for the Land Rover Series 2 by Automec. I've never used a kit before, so before I give any comments please understand I'm no expert. These are just my subjective impressions. Someone who knows what they're doing could have a completely different view. Good points: Very nicely prepared lines, excellent quality, nice materials. Things I'd like to see done differently: First, much better instructions (it was only thanks to 3 Brothers Classic Rovers that a layout diagram, from the workshop manuals/parts catalogue was included). The kit could really use a detailed instruction manual, saying clearly where the lines should go, where it should be fastened to the frame, the curve radius of the tube where necessary. I'll make the diagrams for Automec, if they like. Secondly, tube lengths. Without a detailed instruction manual or photos, I think the average user would have a hard time making things join up in a neat and certifiably safe way.

We went one city over and had the complete opposite experience. All's well that ends well. I couldn't be happier with my new Discovery Sport I purchased last week. I've been going to these guys for over 10 years, and service has always been great. In particular this time Bill Grimes was excellent throughout the sales process. He was extremely patient with me (i started looking in March) until we found the right car. Once we decided on the car, the actual sales/closing was quite smooth, no hiccups. I'll certainly be going back to Bill for the next one. Today is a holiday! Business hours may be different today. 鈥淢y husband and I bought a car from this dealership last week and had an awesome experience with Bill Grimes!
