P38
« on: September 05, 2015, 08:32:25 PM »
Have been pondering buying a P38 - This one on ebay looks about what I am after -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201415107436?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have always avoided them as they have a reputation for being a bit of a nightmare,am I right to avoid them?

Appreciate a few opinions.

Cheers,

Nice motors but they take a huge amount of effort to maintain

Battery needs to be in good nick. As soon as it starts to go flat all hell breaks loose with the electrics.
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....
