tomorrow I am going to have a look at a D2 with my oldest son, so thought I would try and catch up on what they required.

what I am a little surprised about is how many of the ‘old timers’ are still here.

so I big shout out to all my old friends and to my potential new ones as well

You use to have a well set up D1 didn't you? I remember the name but my memory isn't that good any more.

A lot of us "old timers" are here for more than just the Landrover experience.

If I ever change allegiances, god forbid it never happens, I still think I would hang around here.

Welcome back.

I’m in the same boat too. Sold off the RRC a few years back, and drifted off. Now deciding between a nice D2 or L322.

The Landrover thing is more infectious than the China virus. The only cure is an empty bank account.

So it appears the guy selling his D2 isn’t very keen on getting a sale. Takes a week between messages for him to reply. Get a response saying yeah come look tomorrow, ask him for his address and get nothing.
anyone know of a mechanically sound, inexpensive disco going round in Vic for my son?

Thanks. I remember you too Sprover.
im sure my son would now love to get his hands on my old d1 now, although he got scared going off-road at the time.
i Was only able to sell it for 12k at the time and would have no chance of getting something similar now. It probably owed me at least 5 times what I sold it for - 10k of engine, 5k of gas injection, 4K of winch, suspension, body, tyres etc

welcome back to the fold .....I slid right off into the "darkside" after my D2 , went the way of a Ford Ranger single cab/chassis which is the nearest thing to a Defender 130 , using most of the common mechanicals , with zero mechanical issues.

I guess now, selective buying a D2 could give some good cheap 4wd motoring now.

good luck with it.

A Looong way from you,
But am about to put a 04 TD5 D2 up for sale.
Send us a PM if you can think of a way to get it to Mexico.
