2003 Disco 2 diesel auto 7 seat S model. 150,000km. Very clean car with no issues. A friend(old timer) of a reliable mate bought it privately for $12,000 a year ago. Says I can have it in 3 months for a bit less than $12,000. No CDL. I've replaced an LT230 on my 110 before. Almost feel it would be easy to drop a new transfer case in an do a solenoid job or similar. Easy job? Opinions on price and CDL conversion appreciated.

If it's a 2003 it will be a D2a and should have the cdl fitted

I thought they were missing the TC internals in 2003 and only reintroduced the internals and linkage in 2004?

CDL internals went missing towards the end of MY2001 (April-may 2001 is the cut off). MY2002 didn't have CdL internals. MY2003 & 2004 had internals and lever as standard in Aus.

Cdl was an option on 2003 in the uk & us.

The update had the cdl reintroduced, these ran from late 2002 until the series end in 04

You are confusing the centre diff-lock with traction control, these are two different features. If it is a 2003 it will have both., but check the features on the vehicle itself and it's year of manufacture.
Is this truck being sold because does not have a centre diff-lock mechanism and cockpit lever? Be careful!

So without getting too confused am I right to say the TC will have the internals but not the in car actuator? Silly me never had a good look at the lever but I'm sure I only noticed the high low forward/backward motion, no side to side. If the lever is non existant but the TC has the internals I will still be very happy.

Cheers. I didn't read too careful sorry. I hope you are right. I'll be a very happy camper. The option between countries seems a bit odd.

If it is an update it will have a fully functional cdl, are you sure it is an update?
The most obvious identifying factor is the front headlights, but there are other differences as well

It's definitely an update. It has the tell tail headlights etc.
