          Observable.timer(500).subscribe(() => {
                        $('#tablebody').addClass('fadding');
                        this.showloader = true;
                        Observable.timer(500).subscribe(() =>  
                        $('#tablebody').removeClass('fadding');

Using setTimeout is not advisable with angular 2. you can use Observable and timer for it :

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/timer';

@Component({
  selector   : 'my-component'
})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  public showloader: boolean = false;      
  private subscription: Subscription;
  private timer: Observable<any>;

  public ngOnInit() {
    // call this setTimer method when you want to set timer
    this.setTimer();
  }
  public ngOnDestroy() {
    if ( this.subscription && this.subscription instanceof Subscription) {
      this.subscription.unsubscribe();
    }
  }

  public setTimer(){

    // set showloader to true to show loading div on view
    this.showloader   = true;

    this.timer        = Observable.timer(5000); // 5000 millisecond means 5 seconds
    this.subscription = this.timer.subscribe(() => {
        // set showloader to false to hide loading div from view after 5 seconds
        this.showloader = false;
    });
  }

}

If you want to show the loader for 5 sec and hide it, you should set the condition in ng-if to false in setTimeout. Right now you are doing the other way i.e setting to true after 2 sec interval. Thats why it is showing after 2 sec.

2000 is 2 sec. try 5000 and instead of setInterval use setTimeout, it will happen only once
