When our D2 had a wobbly we looked around.
For LC 100 series cruiser we were looking at 35 to 40 K with 150,000 on the clock.
Now if I spent half that on my D2 V8 well then WHOA. That would be one hell of a machine.
So we fixed ours and are happy. It's still a great car. We just keep our RACQ ultimate package up to date. :p
G'day blokes, just thought I'd tack a post on the end of this one.
Like mrapocalypse above, we've come to the same conclusion - can't bear to part with the bl%$dy thing!
Have done: head gaskets, fuel pump, ACE ram, tie rods, springs and shocks, front driveshaft, rebuild alternator. Probably more but that's all I can think of for now
Need to do: replace cats (gonna get them cut out and weld a pair of highflows in - can't delete them as the ECU will have a hissy fit), new clutch, real seal on transfer case, fix 3 amigos (intermittent and as yet undiagnosed), new starter (buy off ebay for 170), replace rear bar (smashed up back LHS) with higher clearance steel item.
Anything else you gurus can think of while I'm there? Plan is to take it off the road and borrow a car so I can get all this done in one hit
4.6
2" Lift
33s
4.11 R&P
Ashcroft F+R Airlockers
That should do for the time being :p :thumbsup:
Seriously though.
Get the transfer case sorted properly. A sleeved casing is the way to go, it'll be coming out for the clutch anyway so might as well. Gives a chance for the centre diff shims to be checked over as well.
You'll be good to go then :)
Already got the lift - what happened to the Sub 32 club hey??
Xfer case, got it. Cheers.
Gonna see if I can sneak in while it's on the hoist and make a dodgy CDL lever too
I has drawn plans for DIY CDL lever, happy to share if you like? :)
Meh. **** what everyone else thinks, do what makes you happy ;)
Mine is listed in the markets section.
I realise I wont get anything like what I have advertised it for.
Great vehicle for those looking for a well sorted and loved D2.
Open to all offers,any too rude will be considered BRIEFLY;);););););)

Yeah mate love to have a look at what you've done. I'm still a young man and happy to crawl around under the car to activate it!
CDL lever plan :)

Not credit to me, found it from somewhere here.
That would be my creation;);););)
Make sure you use quality uni joints as cheapies fail as did my prototype.
ENJOY

I find this interesting, I just bought the D2 I learnt to drive in off mum and dad when mum got an FL2, (paid 5k for a perfect td5 manual with only 200k) the primary reason was to get out of the Range Rover, it's cheaper, and much more comfortable to tow it when I go four wheel driving than to steer the thirsty pig down the road! Also gives me piece of mind that if i do break it, I have a vehicle to recover it and tow it home.Quote:
