I finally found the D2 I was looking for!!

Took delivery of it on Friday and it got it's first dent today when some !@#$wit cranked their door in to it while I was at the RAC office in Morley.

Anyway it's 2001 Td5 with 128K on the clock. Full service history, one owner and immaculate inside and out and it's got the center locking diff but as yet no actuator.

Do I have the Landy Grin??? .. Hell YEAH! :D

Manual, I prefer to call the shots - especially when towing.

Very nice, great colour.
From your photos I see it has the Self levelling suspension and Michelin XPC's, look after those tyres they're $495 ea :o

The brush bar will going for sure. An ARB 15 with winch will eventually grace the front end of the new toy.

Apologies, but now I have a better pc monitor here at work, I clearly see your D2 does not have the rear mud flaps for the SLS, so it probably does not have that feature. I'll just shut up from now on. :angel:

Simon, you were right the first time, it does have Self Leveling Suspension fitted. No ACE though ;)

Very nice. Shame about the dint.

Has it been remapped? That and a bigger intercooler make a big difference.

Ian you're oh so right. 3 drops of rain on the weekend and it is filthy. Oh well a bit of dirt adds character .. well that's my excuse anyway.

Believe me, if I'd found the sod who dented it their head would have been leak testing their windscreen or door and I'm not a violent guy by nature.

It's not been remapped that I'm aware of, and the intercooler is bog standard. A few more things to add to the ever growing list in the keep me broke department. The first thing I need is a couple of switches for the dash pod .. any ideas where to pick them up cheap?
