Thread: 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

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).
