Did you try letting the misses out of the boot?
Cheers for that....
Anyone have a spare speed controller they would be interested in selling?
Finding a breakers yard in the Great State of Conneticut is like finding an ashtray on a bicycle. I found one on eBay for $69 but in the interim will hold off for a few days to see if someone here would have one that would be sure to be in working order on arrival.
When I have blower control on HI both blowers run full speed.
When I select a lower speed setting, the right motor adjusts accordingly but the left motor stays on high speed.
I have R&R the left blower motor, separated the housing from the motor, cleaned the relay with contact cleaner and cleaned the internal components but the issue still exists.
I have noted that the relay for the left blower tends to get hotter than the one for the right motor but cant think of any reason for this. I did note a hairline crack running from one of the left relays ports to another port and, with that in mind, I swapped the entire fuse panel with another vehicles panel and the high speed only mode still exists with the left fan motor.
Questions;
Probably worth $15,000 in my opinion. But as my wife says, what do I know?
@Bolt, what unicorn are you referring to that went for $45k?
Cheers
He knows enough about it to be asking 55 clams for it!!!
ABS and TC light will come on if one of the sensors has worn down or if there is corrosion on the half shaft where the sensors pick up their signal. Hopefully its the the sensors. They can be a mare to remove.... Blast them with rust remover or your favorite bolt loosener for a few days prior to removing. If you are replacing sensors do both of them.
That is a beautiful P38 mate. Congrats on winning that award.
Great to see one so well taken care of...
Why would one put L322 headlights on a P38?
That’s a fantastic testament to your ownership....
Well done..
Great pic Morat!!!!
Saw that.
Price range is fairly large, as you say.
Worth a punt if you can get one for south of 6 bills I think....
@OldShep56.... need to have a big garage as I spend most of my time there cos I usually end up on the wrong side of my misses’ points of view!
I haven't a clue as to its value. I had a correspondence with the folk at LR about the valuation but they seem to think that there is no way to put an appraisal to it. Person in question told me that Landrover had assumed this vehicle no longer existed. Apparently they had located 4 of the 6 originally built except for the one that was stolen back in 2002 and they had mine written off as being untraceable considering it was here stateside and there was no mention of it anywhere until last year when it resurfaced.
She’s insured for 50k but I can insure my dogs back leg for 100 grand so long as I’m willing to pay the monthly payments on it!!!
It’s the left side.....
I’ll try getting something in to clean it. Beats the alternative.
I put new new ones in and still got same ABS error message.
I removed one of the sensors again and used a flashlight to look inside opening where sensor goes. Looks like the hub that the sensor touches has a lot of corrosion on it and I’m guessing this is my “new” ABS issue.
Looks like I’m gonna have to pull the shaft out of I want the ABS light to go away....
Suggestions or comments?
Great work so far mate.
If I could make a suggestion.... while you have the seats out of it you should remove the roof/ceiling and reupholster it. With all the great work you are doing in cleaning her up it would be a shame to have the roof lining looking gash.
The biggest part of removing the ceiling is getting the seats out and you already have that done.
Reupholstering the shell is a straight forward job and will be well worth the effort.
Keep up the good work...
Yeah it’s special made and being pulled by a Ford F550 Diesel Super FX4....

Still can’t figure photo posting out.
Here’s a link to Imgur image of the three P38s being transported to their new home in Connecticut.
Thanks GILBERTD... That photo really doesn’t do the vehicle any justice whatsoever....
That thing has my blood, sweat and many, many tears in it.... A proper pain in my arse it was but glad to be at the finish line. Two small items to clear up on it. The upper and lower windshield trims need installing. One would need to be an octopus to do that and my wife’s tolerance for the vehicle is wafer thin considering all the dinners she has left in the oven as I stated “I’ll be in in a minute. Put it in the oven and put kettle on”..... Left front turn signal is wrong color and should be clear.....
Other than that, I would argue she is as good as new... I will post more photos in time...
