Thread: Should I Buy This D2

assuming money isnt a problem

is there any thing that i should get looked at or replaced for good measure once i take ownership of the D2?

this is what is on my list to be done currently:

Cylinder head (full service)
full gasket set
new head bolts etc
Clean oil cooler
new radiator
clean injectors
new injector harness
oil pump bolt
Clean inlet manifold
gear and transition seals
new HD clutch
oil and filters
coolant
install egr block
window regulator
belt drives

i have decided to do most of the work myself.

Man!!!

You keep asking the same thing 10 ways.

You either do it or you dont!

Cars will cost you money, say $5k P/A including rego,tyres, ins, servicing, fuel and services. Not to mention breakdowns and that is being very conservative.

Now take your money, get the car and give a mechanic his fair share and stop procastinating and extrapolating possible theories.

Do something for god sake!!!

well i went to have look at the D2, and it is not worth the effort.

i am now interested in that V8 d2 on ebay.

i will have to add gas to it though, what range can i expect to get out off a V8 D2 on gas?

One of my mates was doing dune driving in his V8 disco the other day and said he got 30L per 100km out of it...now thats HUGE!

What parts of it are putting you off?

Is it the amount of work, or the cost of parts / materials / labour that is the concern?
