Exmoor Beast

Picture of our 'new' P38a Will

I will take some later 18" tarty wheels Niagra grey privacy glass clear winkycators leather... Will

Slave cylinder coming from4x4Store in Exeter, link from my website, they will beat any price if they can. Gearbox is R380 Will

What say we arrange a convoy to the scumbags workshop "LR4x4 N30 against rip offs", tip off the papers etc Will

3 pedals are far better for having fun unfortunately the damn thing got me my first ever speeding ticket last week not bad really as I have been doing 20-30,000miles a year for 20years. New slave cylinder on order so Wednesday looks like an overalls and oil day...ho hum. Will

I bought one with a proper gearbox Steve and it was the slave cylinder if anyone is interested £30!, thats 1/3rd of a tank of fuel! I still love the P38 Will

Jumped in tyhe RR this morning, defrosted the screen in seconds using the heated screen whilst looking smug at the folk scraping away Bum nicely warm on the heated seat I set off up the road, went for 3rd gear and the clutch went straight to the floor and stayed there! $%^&*£ Any ideas? Hydraulic fault or spring in the clutch? Will

better get an extended drop plate if you are towing it behind the 90 and budget for 7 hours at the jetwash on the way home! Will

April eh... Will

oh dear oh dear Bring it to Exmoor Steve lets sort that straight bodywork out Will

they were the first people I called Tony, arrived at 8.45am the next day, superb service as ever and only £27 inc P&P D4x4 didn't have one when I called in on my way home and it would have been £27+VAT and P&P I have done nearly 1000miles this week in the P38a and am loving it, great headlights for the blast home across the moor last night, the V8 pulls much harder than the Disco's V8 did and is more economical at 22mpg on a run Will

thanks Steve. I have just sent Lucy off to the 'experts' to get it wired in hopefully. Next problem is getting a new clear indicator lens and bulb, I hit a bird on the M5 earlier today....this RR is nothing but trouble I think Lucy is warming to it though...it might be staying afterall Will

Anyone managed to get a fitting kit to fit a Blaupunct head unit to a P38a? Our local ICE 'experts' seem foxed by the two offset ISO blocks the P38a seems to have.... Will

I never drive through that ford (Tonys photo at the top is Malmsmead near Brendon) without thinking of a hot day one summer when I was riding in the back of my uncles MGB in the 70s whilst racing my Aunts MGB, she took the bridge we took the ford to try and overtake. It took us an hour or more to get the MG running again Will

Nige When its finished can I have a play with it? oh, OK, theres no need to be so rude, I will get my coat then... Will

sounds like I owe you a pint or two Steve I love the RR, anyone who thinks the P38a is unworthy of the RR name has obviously never driven a V8 one, its a great car. Unfortunately Lucy hates it, it feels huge compared to the Discovery and she feels unsafe driving it at speed (hasn't got the sense to slow down a bit... women, tut) Will

Not high street but I have used these folks several times in the past and always had good service DIY Plastics Will

It was a lot more than £3! I bought 2 new Bosch bulbs for the driving lamp bits. Honestly it costs a fortune to run these Range Rover things! Will

Didn't take long for the P38a to start playing up! 3 days I think we have had it! Main beam bulb failure, at least it told me when it happened bless it. I wonder whats next... Will

very slippery site at times that one, Tony nearly demolished a caravan there once! Photo of us straightening the hybrid after the caravan avoidance/tree impact incident Will

Dunc mentioned elsewhere that the LRW article on Exmoor is out so bring on the abuse. I haven't seen it yet but Kev promised I would get some ribbing so God knows what lies he has fabricated, I have alrerady heard that I look old in the photos Will

P38 manual would be great Steve ta, sure I will need it soon what with it being a Land-Rover I am well impressed so far I must admit. pulls like a train and very comfy, plenty of gadgets to keep me occupied... Will

Hi folks, anyone noticed I was missing? A lot has happened in the last week. I have moved home and business, a gargantuan effort to say the least. Only moved 300yds up the road, actually nearer the pub which is good. Phone number is the same as before if anyone needs it. To celebrate the move we sold the Discovery yesterday and bought a P38a Range Rover 4.0SE manual, Niagara Grey, privacy glass and all the goodies working (appart from the display on the ICE, gggrrrr), proper drug dealers car but very comfy and a delight to be in. anyway lots to do so see ya later... Will

You can make do with freebie leftovers as before matey Will Oh and don't be cheeky about the 110, you know it will outlast and outperform anything you ever own Will

Open to suggestions I am a free man, nearly, touch wood, I have a bit of outdoor work lined up sometime to get fit again, a few Architecture/design type jobs to do as well, cakes to deliver, logistics for the London show etc, can't see boredom setting in. oh and theres always ebay to flog tat on Will
