What do you reckon on this D2 ES?

As long as the price is right no CDL is no biggie. The ETC is excellent in most offroad situations, even sand when its working properly and driven well. CDL is easily re-installed - just budget $1,500 or a little more depending on whether you want a basic push pull cable (which works very well) or the shifter.

Cheers

... but before you change the oil, add an engine oil flush and fast idle the vehicle for 15min before you drop the oil (Cost Effective Maintenance have a good engine flush, but it's not cheap Cost Effective Maintenance

I've used the Nulon one on the last oil change, and will again on the oil change that's now due Engine Oil Flush- Nulon Australia
The oil has stayed pretty clean for the last 10,000km since flushing the engine to get rid of all the accumulated carbon & sludge build up ... the oil still isn't BLACK.

Do all your oils & filters straight up (engine, auto, transfer, diffs, power steering, brakes).
