a D2 over a D3 any day........providing the D2 is rust free, powered by the TD5 engine and fitted with ACE...............But........if money is no object and you can afford a new engine when ( not if) it breaks its crank and destroys the engine .......then snap up a D3

1 yes
2 yes and Dynachip
3 yes and refurbished
 
D2 handling is actually not bad at all, much much better than a D1


The one thing I loved about my old D2 was the ACE and how you could make the tyres howl around corners whilst staying pretty level, D3 flops over like an old D1 with no ARBs!
 
I would go for a d3, d2s are more trustworthy but unfortunately you will really struggle to find a solid one which starts on the button
 
Good D2s are out there. It took a while but I found one with a sound chassis which starts first touch.

Ditto. :)
Just take your time, don't assume that price necessarily equates to quality (there are both expensive horrors and decent bargains out there), and think about what aspects are essential to you, what are merely desirable and therefore where you can compromise. I began by just looking at D2s that met all of my desirable criteria and could not find a solid one no matter how expensive they were. Once I decided to compromise and look at autos and alternative colours my search widened and eventually I got lucky; and yes the chassis is very solid and it starts first turn.
 
Ahh, big bill then. :(

Apparently about 1500 quid but I suppose that depends on what else they find whilst they are in there, still its of no immediate concern and Im debating whether to chuck it in and get a newer one, part of me says get rid, other part says fix it as its a good car, maybe early next year!
