A few weeks ago I got my CDL reinstated in my 02 Disco and finally got a chance to try it out in anger. Did a drive through Tallarook on the weekend and all went well. I like it.
The only problem I had was I stopped and shut the vehicle off while still in diff lock mode, and when restarted lost traction control. No matter what I tried I could not re activate the traction control.(taking it out of diff lock, shutting off, turning back on, reversing, locking/ unlocking vehicle with diff lock out. etc)
It finally came back on on the way home. Took it out of Diff lock, drove for about 15km on black top, stopped turn vehicle off after a short break restarted vehicle and I had TC and ABS back working.
Tallarook has changed in the past year after the rains, alot of easy tracks are now atleast a medium grade and then some if run in the opposite direction. Bracken track was washed out alot more, and a new track has been made around the bottom by the creek. There were a few mud holes along the way but nothing to stress about. A bit of water was flowing over the resevoir wall. Again getting washed out around this area.

Did you need to change the front output housing? Or did you already have the internals? Who did the job.

Had to replace the front housing - I bought an ashcroft kit from another AULRO member and had Ritters in Melbourne install it for me. They also repaired the transfer case at the same time (unaware of a couple of shims were destroyed).

Have a look at this:
www.discovery2.co.uk/Factory Diff Lock (http://www.discovery2.co.uk/diff_lock.html)

Scroll to the bottom and read. I installed a switch in-line in mine so I can have TC or no TC if I like.

Cheers,
