I found that the HI /LOW lever attachment from the D2 box was different when I replaced my D1 box with the D2 Box. I had to fit the D1 lever connection and top of the D1 box to suit. The lever is a different shape in it's bend and was also fitted to a shorter lever shaft . In other words it did not line up correctly. in other words the lever arrangement was not inline, it was at an angle.

The D1 lever attaches to the top of the box and is activatced by rods/levers, the D2 is mounted on the body and has a cable.

There are some threads with instructions for fittign the D1 lever to a D2.

You do need to modify / bend some of the parts to get them to work properly.

Couple of links to look at;

www.discovery2.co.uk/Factory Diff Lock

www.discovery2.co.uk / Disco 1 CDL into a Disco 2

You do get a lot more noise using the solid linkage in a D2 when the levers mounted on the body.

CAn some one tell me where I can source the AMV parts for the D2 CDL ? I am having a heck of a time findingthem online. Thanks in advance

AMV have discontinued the product

Their website lists "some parts available".

cheers
