Sad to say that my P38A, pride and joy for the last 5 years will be off to pastures new next week.
I have agreed a part ex for an AWD Jaguar X type.......... I hope I have done the right thing

Well now t'youngest has decided my P38a would be a better bet than an X-Trail so it will be staying in the family.
Down side is he has two Sprockers so we need to "dog proof" the Range Rover
And my new AWD motor has arrived :-
Just given it the once over in t'eldests workshop.
Next job will be sorting out an LPG kit for it.
