    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Model

As far as I know the D had no mechanical advancer for the ignition, it was fully electronic.
 
Here in the 'States, the Z or D is part of the VIN. So you would find 850GLD or 850GLZ in the number. You have an '82, so that is most likely the Z model, with a silver engine instead of black. You probably also have the final drive splines that wear out and strand you sometime after 20,000 miles. If you're not sure you have the original engine paint, you could look on the parts diagrams for differences between the Z and D models. If you look up the '82 diagrams, there will be annotations for diagrams that are specific to the Z or D model. So, you should be able to find something pretty quickly that would tell you.
