Disco 2 CDL engagement linkage/lever

Anyone tried using a central locking solenoid/actuator to move the CDL?
Not sure if 20mm stroke would be enough though, would need a short lever on the spigot.

Nice thing is, for $40 you can get the whole kit including harness and wireless remote.

I made my own cost about $30 for the steel rod and 2 x 1/4 drive socket extensions, works a treat

Any pics ?

PM ".50" on this forum for one of his levers. Excellent bit of kit and a great guy to deal with.

I bought a second hand one from AMV in Vic, $375 delivered.

Ye I do from an earlier post, im not sure if I can reload post but ill see or maybe repost the piccies, I cant justify $300 to $800 when you can built it for $30, only thing obvious is the T handle sticking out from centre consol



cheers

Factory looks much nicer though...

I still haven't got one, just have a lever under the car, it's near the top of the list though!

Thanks

I have an air ram actuator for my CDL. Go here and scroll down for details:-

Just ordered a factory CLD lever yesterday with D2a lights and a chipped ECU from TRS, should look good and go well now!

Cheers

Thanks Ken. I agree with you there. My car is now 14 years old & probably not worth that much so I just want something that will do the job.
