First I've heard of different actuators being available. Might he have meant that there are different transfer cases fitted to the Series II Discovery i.e. 99-01 CDL Fitted (not connected), 01-02 No CDL Fitted, 03-04 CDL Fitted & Connected.

Have to leave the VIN details to Redback but on pricing:

'04 Actuator (read: Hi/Lo Lever) cable, bracket, handle & sticker to replace the current Hi/Lo only one - my two quotes have been $900 & $1100 from Melbourne LR Dealers. From the UK, I was still looking at $700AU. FYI!

cdl

I think I have found an alternative.. British Off road has a kit that joins the low linkage to the cdl. They dont sell it as a kit but will fit it for $ 330 sound good. No electrics even better. I think I will go for a drive to Nambour
I dont think there will be any problems if it is only hooked to the low selecter
Any opinions
Thanks for the information
Colin

I have one for the same price got from BD only works in low range but works a treat.

Cheers

I'd advise against it....

You lose the ability to lock the centre in on fast dirt and sand work...

CDL in high is VERY usable and handy....

I landed a D2a CDL for $550.00

Got to say - I tend to agree - if you are going to the effort - you might as well get it working properly/fully - not just in LOW

I will be putting the proper kit in to work with Hi & Lo. CDL is great on fast dirt and sand as tombraider stated. If it connects to Lo, sounds like it engages whenever Lo is selected , if that's the case, then you loose the ability to use Lo on the hard stuff i.e. backing the trailer up the driveway etc.

Hi Colin, after 10 years of CDL ownership, I can tell you a major part of its function is in high range.

cdl

For a while I though I had found the easy Fix. I would love to find a d2a cdl but I am running out of options. Any thoughts as to where I may source such a beast. I have neally exhausted all Qld wreckers and short of going out an smashing the first Disco I see --- Na- I wouldnt But some times I .

Aulro people -- anybody -- any ideas of spare parts /wreckers in any state
I would love to hear from anyone that may have an idea of someone wrecking a disco with a cdl unit for sale.
Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin, how about a
Landy Andy type fix untill you find one?

simple, cheap, could possibly be made bullet proof,
but it works.
