    Philip,

    Check out the ARB battery tray, it's a much more reasonably priced option ≈$75.00

    cheers

    [QUOTE=PhilipA;1857877] One funny thing the remote lock unlock does not work, although the light goes on. ...... 2 keys.
    /[QUOTE]

    If you have 2 keys and neither fob works despite red light illuminating, it may be the aerial/sensor which is in the middle of the rear cargo bay above the roof lining. This happened to me but I was lucky enough to be able to have it fixed under warranty.

    Philip,

    Having had a look at microcat you've got yourself a late March 2002 vehicle - built about a month before the change to 2003MY.

    It will have the updated steering knuckles with revised caster angle that came in the last few months of the 2002MY production, and also the updated rear diff breathers which were relocated to behind the passenger tail light.

    The other nice thing is the EU3 engine, so you have the reflashable ECU and larger "d2a intercooler" which is more accurately a EU3 Intercooler.

    The wheels are actually Proline 18" and were factory fitted.

    If you get around to taking a decent pic we are looking for a local d2 in Oslo Blue for the colour reference.

    cheers
    Paul

    I noticed the chap was selling due to loss of licence. Obviously for running red lights and not stopping at stops sign. Wanted to maintain momentum considering he's driving a diesel.

    I've just bought one (ARB battery tray) for I think it was $68 new from arb. Stupid thing is someone just bought the same one on ebay for 170 odd bucks. Obviously the buyers didn't do their homework!!!. If they go for that much on ebay Hmmmmm a money making venture ahead .
    Better tray imo they have the turbo heat guard included

    arb.
    Yes I saw that sell price and wondered when I saw the earlier post and am planning to go to my closest ARB store to check.
    You don't seem to be able to order ARB stuff on line from a dealer . Is that correct?
    Regards Philip A

    The D2 and I have NOT got off to a good start.

    Picked it up this afternoon and drove home, well almost home.
    About a Km from home the 3 amigos light up. Oh sugar!

    Then the rest of the dash lights up and the engine stops. Double sugar.

    So try a restart. Clickity click.

    I had noticed that the PO had warmed it up before my arrival and I asked him directly whether it was because of a flat battery. Oh no.

    I had noticed that the negative terminal had acid all over it, so I rang my wife to come and pick me up , went home and collected the RRC and tools.

    I couldn't get the neg terminal off!!!! and it became obvious that it wasn't going to come off. Jump started it after twisting the terminal and drove home, took the next 2 hours to work out it wasn't for moving and ended up cutting it off.
    What genius invented the battery connections?

    I found a suitable terminal and cut the old terminal off and fitted a new one.
    So no 3 amigos after restart now and I have the battery on a 20 amp smart charger, but its probably stuffed from sulphation.

    The radio doesnt work either . Dead as a dodo so probably a fuse but none of the fuses underbonnet were labelled radio.
    Oh the joy of buying second hand cars.

    Regards Philip A
