More parts on order


fan pulley bearing collapsed, lucky to make it back to Darwin. That explains the loud pulley noise and occasional hard starting. also getting new idler tensioner pulley and any others that should be replaced as preventative maintanence.

alternator slowly dieing as well ( not stuffed yet but on its way out) so new 120 amp Denso unit going in too. keeping the old one as working spare for interim measures. &

Leigh is still trying to sort BCU but it looks like it may be faulty as well.

I love my D2

Driving my beasty around western Victoria in the 40 degree heat. Very thankful for quality air con!

I did and the pulley checked out all right. I could still move the fa by hand at that time.

had some other issues going on at the same time that I was worried about with the BCU so thought that was the hard starting problem.
