Thread: ACE Questions and others

OK, here goes...

1 - How much is it worth. Hmmm... Interesting question but I don't think I could put a price on it.

2 - Rear suspension - No! The remote control bit is an optional extra but an option you can only have if you have the rear air springs.

3 - ACE & Lifts... Yes.

4 - Centre Diff. I can't remember but it has been the subject of many a discussion.

ACE was not a standard feature on any Oz models and is unrelated to rear self-levelling suspension. ACE was a $3,500 factory option on any model.

The CDL was omitted from about 2001 but re-introduced complete with lever and modified ABS ecu in all Oz MY03 update models (twin-pocket headlights) which were built from late 2002 onwards.

Don't be put off buying a 2001 or 2002 D2 just because it doesn't have the cdl internals. I recently had a cdl installed in my 2002 by an RL specialist for $700, admittedly without an actuator. Small potatoes really. A homemade under car linkage for $0 will fix that problem.

Go the ACE fantastic to drive on the road and heaps of wheel travel off road.

ACE is awesome,and the least troublesome system on a D2.
Look for a "double" power steering bottle,ie 2 lids if you are looking at online under bonnet pics.
ALL 7 seaters have the rear air suspension,optional on 5 seaters.
I thought 7 seaters also got ACE,but maybe only in the Hi Spec models.
The way the prices are dropping,only consider the 2a updates(D3 style headlights and instruments),all the gremlins sorted and a factory operational CDL.

I looked at a couple yesterday, one 7 seater TD5 that was pretty rough, so was the salesman. It had ACE, then we looked at a 7 seater V8 that didn't have ACE, was in fantastic condition, but was out of our price range. Two others we saw adverised were not able to be seen at the dealers due to various stuff ups. One of these has ACE but is $6000 more.

From the description, the dearer one might be in a bit better condition, has a few accessories and slightly lower kms (180,000 vs 205,000). But I didn't see either of them in the flesh, yet.
