Aside from that any other idiosyncrocies (spelling?) I should know about? Thanks   Paul D.

But mine is still young as it is a '00. Other things I do hear about or have experienced are: Radiator issues Front Driveshaft Fuel Sending Unit Differential issues due to ETC It's early and I don't have coffee yet. I am sure the other D2 guys will chime in.

A buddy had a 2000 D2 that the hinges on the cargo door started to rust but keep in mind that the rear cargo door is the same on the D1 and D2.   Pete Stefano (Pete_s) Member Username: Pete_s Post Number: 70 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 09:22 am:    I live in CT and I have not noticed any rust spots yet execpt for the back door hinges, but only slighty. The best thing to do is to always wipe down and clean the rear passenger doors undernearth and in between the rubber weatherstrip and also the wheel well. Question to all D2 owners in the NorthEast especially Conn., where can I get greasable U-Js or a driveshaft replacment in Conn.?

Now, if I could only keep people from running into it though.... Pete, unless there is something I don't know about our UJ's, any driveline shop can install greasable ones for ya.
