New to me P38

I've had my 2A for 23 years, but I finally took the plunge and bought a "modern" rover, a 1997 P38. I have a generic OBD2 scanner, but I think I need a more specific scanner(?) and what Workshop Manual should I get? I'm sure there are other things that I'm not even aware that I should ask, so any advice would be appreciated. It has a few glitches that I need to fix, but so far I'm loving it.

Hi Harv,

Congrats on your new Land Rover...
Get yourself a mug of tea and take a read through this (click on link) it covers all the common issues and the fixes;

Then, depending on how mechanical savy you are, I would recommend picking up a work shop manual, should be able to find one on Amazon or eBay. Online versions are available but if your like me, you prefer the old fashion paper versions!

cheers,
Andy

Thanks a lot Andy. Wow, what a ton of info all in one place. I'm an aircraft mechanic and do virtually all my own mechanical work, so I imagine I'll be learning lots about Range Rovers in the coming years.
