Join me in a vid for all-times. It’s been over 5 years since we last too an honest, in-depth look at the Range Rover P38. It’s a tough 4x4 that’s definitely earned it’s keep. I’ve chosen the most beautiful place to pull up and give you a look around.

Another Great video Keithy, Thanks for the update and all the trouble you go to making them 👍
Hope your doing OK and keeping well.
Take Care.
Cheers Rob and Shelly 👍
Thanks guys! Really appreciate it. I hope you are both doing well 👍🏻
I got me one of them. And wouldn’t swap it for anything. Not even a plastic new one.
Awesome tool. 💪
great job man, you seem like a great guy. wishinng you the best
Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍🏻
G’day Keithy, good to see the update on the Rangie. Great that you still love it after lots of years too. .....and that sure is a lovely quiet beach you’re on. Cheers, Alan
Keithy, you're looking and sounding great! Thank you for continuing to make and post your videos.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it 👍🏻
Very nice video! Thanks for taking the time to show everything in detail and sharing some inspiration.
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👍🏻
Nice to see another update on the Range Rover 😊
My pleasure 👍🏻
Good on ya Keithy great video, great to see you up and about keep up the good work mate stay well
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👍🏻
Love to see your Range Rover still going strong.
She’s a solid old horse 😂
@@Keithy_W you mentioned in your video that you often take it through deep water. I've read many reports about the BECM getting wet when you go through water - what have you done to prevent this?
Good question mate! I wish I could post a photo on this conversation! I soaked my BECM this time last year. I’ve done absolutely nothing to prevent it getting wet, and as you see, my P38 operates and drives 100% as it should.
After I got out of the water crossing (recovery), I drove 100km, removed the BECM and cleaned and re-fitted it with all systems unharmed.
@@Keithy_W obviously they are more robust than what many say. 🙄
I guess the moral of the story is if you keep on top to the maintenance, they are as reliable as the next.
I've only owned mine for 18 months and have been going on a few club trips as I learn what it's capable of. Thank you for your guidance
You’re not wrong mate. They are robust. Never have I been towed anywhere in a P38 in the near-20yrs I’ve been driving them. I believe a lot comes down to maintaining them well, and listening to its quirks. I’ve towed many Toyota’s and Nissan’s in my time.
A good battery, good fuel and regular maintenance. Perfect 👌🏼
That’s good to hear mate. You’ll enjoy it! Comfortable and capable motoring. So long as you listen to it, you’ll keep a reliable P38.
Hi Keithy, love your set up. Do you have any photos on the rear wheel carrier installation?
Thanks mate 👍🏻
I don’t have any pics of the install sorry! It’s been about 10 years since I even had a look at the carrier internally!
Sorry meant to mention. Front tyres at 28psi. Rear tyres at 38psi regardless of tyre type for the road.
On my 99 that plastic T on the top inlet to the radiator broke causing me to loose most of my coolant. I would be worried about weakening it by adding that temperature sensor. Plan to make a metal version one of these days.
Good idea!
Love it, have a look at truck Donaldson air cleaners, they have a drain rubber that allowsvwater to self drain but won't allow water in(self opening and closing)
Thanks mate, I’ll check that out for sure! Do you have any links?
If you search Donaldson air cleaners you'll see them on the bottom of the housing, they go from round to flat, ill see if mine in the shed still has 1 that i can upload a pic for you tomorrow
Thanks mate, sounds great 👍🏻
Nice 4x4 👍
Thanks evSteve 🤘🏼
You don’t need spacers. The air sus has a ride height setting you can’t set. At full ride height when traversing awkward territory, if the air sus detects the chassis is grounding, the height is raised another two inches automatically and then drops again if no further groundings of the chassis is detected.
Although I suspect you already know that.
Hey mate, love the truck!
Have you done anything to protect the BECM under the driver's seat from water?
Thanks Ben! Appreciate it 👍🏻
I have done nothing to the BECM, it sits there and has accepted its share of water over the years!
Have a snorkel on mine no problem it’s an OEM snorkel from Landrover
Was your air sus system bypass a kit or a homemade thing? (If so where did you get it). Got a p38 myself and the air suspension is the only thing I don’t fully trust😂
Completely home made mate. I wrote the design on three sheets of A4 paper, got it lazer cut, welded together and then went about installing. It was first installed in my old blue P38 in 2011, which I retuned to standard when I sold it, and then put the lift into this current P38 in 2015.
It may take time, but it pays to learn how the EAS works. It’ll help you diagnose when needed. Keeping an eye on things allows you to catch things before they become an issue. They’re reliable, but they do require maintenance.
Thank you for your videos! Could you please give us some tips about roof racks and rack bars? Which rack bars are suitable for p38? Thank you!
My pleasure mate 👍🏻
I could knock up a video on roof racks and bars if you’d like. There are so many out there, it’s easy to get lost between them!
Do you have any roof rails on the roof at the moment?
@@Keithy_W Yeah that would be great, thanks. That's right I'm kinda lost. I need something heavy duty. Don't have no bars no brackets, and I think about making DIY brackets, but no info yet.
It sounds like P38 RR is quite reliable truck...? I want one for daily !
They’re reasonably reliable 4wds! It’s handy to know how they operate before buying, they’re not everyone’s cup of tea 😁
Hey mate looking at getting a rangie myself where'd you get your locker from?
G’day mate, mine is an Ashcroft locker, and I have it in the rear axle. I got it direct from Ashcroft in the UK. Sent here (including freight) it was cheaper than an ARB locker, and the Ashcroft also engages more securely than an ARB too. They also don’t get air leaks.
Cheers
Keithy
Hey, Am planning to buy one but Which is better the 2.5 dse or 4.6 hse?
It’s all up to you on that one mate!
I don’t mind both, but I much prefer the torque of the 4.6.
4.6 has a stronger gearbox and stronger axles
Hey matey
How you do mate , hope you are well 👍
G’day mate, great to hear from you! I’m doing well, living life as best I can 😄 thanks for checking in. How have you been?
@@Keithy_W yes good mate had a new hip 9 weeks ago and there's no pain any more, glad you are doing well, look after yourself 👍
That’s great to hear mate! I will do 👍🏻
