Thread: My first LR

Welcome to AULRO.COM

with those mods ( and model year)its surprising you dont have a locking CDL of some kind.

TC is good
TC and CDL is GREAT!

Plenty of info on this, search is your friend

Hey welcome
If i can remember the 02 model does not have cdl ,which is unfortunate but not the end of the world but is a great advantage to have you can get the internal of TC added/changed to get it but can be quite expensive ,or you could just look for a 2nd hand LT230 with the cdl in already swap them and sell your old TC recouping a large portion of the money you spent on the new TC
cheers Kelvin

I'm familiar with fourbies but not disco's. Just wanted to find out a few things from you good people.
I was shocked to find out my drivers seat had no height or angle adjustment, I would love to have it a little lower. What do people do about this?
Also my rig has a L or H only lever for low range gears. I'm guessing I don't have the centre diff locking thingy. why would I need this when I've got Traction Control. what am I missing out on that I don't have a locking centre?

Sorry if the questions a stupid but please go easy. again, I'm a newbie

thanks

I always thought the D2 was fitted with a CDL but the actuator was never fitted due to the traction control.

the CDL should be still there though, im pretty sure you can just add a mod, and when I say mod I mean a metal bar with a socket welded to it and in the right sopt you have a centre diff too.

Do a thread search for D2 CDL, im sure you'll find the info you need.

no the internals where in and externals left out 99-01 then internals left out 02-03 then internals and externals returned 03-04 funny hey

It is hard to tell by year alone if it will have the internals or not. I have an 01 that had no internals . You are better off looking at the number on the tc or have a feel for the nut on top.

My 02 TD5 does not have the CDR, so far it has been quite a few places up here[FNQ] on the nth gem fields west of Mt Surprise in the mud around Malanda, beaches in nth NSW so far no need for the cdr.To me it is a great 4/4, a few inherant problems : aircon drains onto auto switch gear[re route the drains]three amigoes [plenty of advice here]other than these probs all the same for other off road vehicles. Enjoy the quality...

thanks mate..
nah, the tc should be enough for me too, if i ever regret not having it that means i've taken her too far.
so ill be in the garage when we get home, apoligising with the polish and buffer in my hand
