Pretty much. those are what I replaced in the last year 18 mo. I take a mechanics class at the local high school. Use the rover to learn on..

The magnaflow exhaust (atlantic british) was so easy to install..and well worth it. Feels like it gained a bit of HP. Was dramatic..

I forgot...also replaced the linkage that connects the 2 wheels (not sure what you call it)
and replaced the drive shaft with a new one (Proline - Rovers North part) maybe 18-24 months ago.

They replaced the seals and fluid on the xfer box when they did the transmission, as well as remove the lockout solenoid that was frozen so you can shift into low or high anytime.

Tires are about a year/12k mi old. AT tires (I forget the brand) but in great shape.

Rover mechanic programmed the sls remote. Makes life so much easier to be able to lower the rear suspension at the boat ramp!

Glass co put the windscreen in (of course) but the rest were pretty simple things... doing it myself just was the cost of the parts.. If I had the dealer do it..I would hang myself!!!!

Just picked up a FJ Cruiser.. no place for all these trucks..got to go. I will miss it.. but I got my enjoyment from it.

Looks like they are selling for 4-5 on ebay for 2000 D2s. I will give it a week here before ebaying it

I think mine is a great buy. This forum has been great to me over the years.. Figured I would pay it back and give forum members first dibs

I forgot how good those 18" wheels look. Got factory 16s on it now, but those 18s do look good. (the 18s are included, but need tires)

Now getting nostalgic.. almost don't want to sell it..LOL I am sure my neighbors want it sold.. my yard is borderline 'redneck neighbor' with all these cars..

Other than my MGs, the rover has been one of my most reliable cars (sans the recent trans failure). 1000% better than my audi !!

Took the plates off yesterday.. to transfer to the FJ. Felt kinda sad doing it! I got to remember NOT to drive it..as it was always my go-to vehicle!!

Guess you can tell im bored at work.. slow day..LOL Ok.. ill stop rambling

strange.. looks like the forum software messed up the link.. or I didn't paste it right..try this: picture

I have my site watched by google, there are no warnings on my site. I just submitted it again for a scan. just to be safe. do a google seach for seeberg.com , there is no warning, at least at this moment.

The link I posted was messed up. It was taking the 3 periods literally in the link.

This is my understanding of D2 greens:

{not-MOSS-edit} KENT green was offered '99-'01 on SE, SE7 (but very rare in NA)
VIENNA green replaced MOSS in '02 on SE, SE7 (very rare as well)
GIVERNY green replaced VIENNA in '03-'04 on S, S7, SE, SE7, HSE, HSE7 (not so rare)
EPSOM green is always available on all models all versions (they're everywhere)

So as MY00 SE7 it must be either Epsom or Moss. It does not look dark enough to be Epsom, but the pic could be off or lightened. That is my question.

Someone can correct me of course.

Thanks for the correction you're right. Moss was DI only. Kent is very rare, you should mention that on CL or eBay. Not that these are collectible, but resales can use all the help they can get. Personally I think Kent Green is the best DII color hands down.

Any pics inside?
