I think the key is when you go to view one to make sure EVERYTHING works already, Air con, Mirrors, Heated Seats etc. Even if you may not use these they will detract from the value if you come to sell, and you should also be knocking off appropriate money. They are outstanding cars, the only problems I've had have been self inflicted. As mentioned earlia they are brilliant off road. If I didnt care about my body panels I really could go anywhere. If you like gadgets go for 98+ they have side air bags and I think the speed adjusted stereo & 4 wheel ETC rather than the early ones with only rear wheel ETC.

Hey Guys, Am new to this forum but would like your perspective on an issue I'm having with one of the "fleet". I recently purchased a 1995 2.5 Diesel P38 she was sweet as a nut on the test drive, and then the 15 miles home was fine. Then on a 200 mile trip there was some odd loss of power, where you would only get any decent power between 1750 and 2000 RPM. If you were on the flat you could just about maintain speed but forget going up a hill. Most hills were reduced to 2nd gear and we're talking slight inclines, not mountains! Anyway the problem has got steadily worse, from what was an intermittent problem its almost like its now only intermittently OK! It's an embarresment to drive frankly. To date I have done the following: Changed the Oil Changed the Oil Filter Changed the Air Filter Changed the Fuel Filter Changed the radiator (radweld the seller put in had worn off after 200 miles!) When running fine she overtakes well and the performance is nearly that of my 4.6 HSE helped by the manual g/box. I'd like to know what to check next, I dont really know where to start with Diesels, although have tried my best checking hoses etc (they are present!) Thanks, Dan
