Default Find Duplicates Across Two Sheets, Delete Everything else.

I've tried and failed at this, any help would be appreciated...

I have a workbook with two sheets. Sheet1 is a list of equipment specific to
my department, it has 176 rows and 11 columns. Sheet 2 is a maintenance
record for all equipment within the company, it has 2406 rows and 8 columns.
Column D of both sheets contains the piece of equipments unique ID number.

What I would like to do is compare column D of sheet2 with column D of
sheet1 and delete everything on sheet2 which does not have a match on sheet1,
leaving me with only the maintenance records for the items in my department.
Can this be done?

Sincere thanks in advance for any assistance.
