    The D2 system is pretty much invisible by comparison.

    I keep forgetting to turn the Trytoo's off when it's slippery, which you can only do at a dead stop.

    Mitsu got their act together with the MR. In the higher spec models they have a terrain response system with a sand setting. Plus in low range it automatically switches off dynamic stability control which is nice (a switch is of course there for switching it off manually in high range too).

    Cheers

    So...some time ago I wired up a switch that would disable T/C and Abs on my D2. Very simple mod.
    On our property we have several very sandy spots, after many tests I think it's safe to say that on a D2, the T/C system is very helpful in sand, without it all you have is 2 open centre diffs, essentially only 2 wheel drive...IF you have the centre diff locked.
    If you don't, well Jack up one wheel one day , turn off T/C, don't lock the centre diff and see how far you get...(actually don't do that, it will destroy the centre diff, or parts of it).
    T/C is a winner.

    Turning off Abs on the dirt on the other hand....well that's a different (but highly illegal) story.

    Cheers

    I mustn't have been holding my mouth right, I was able to turn it off while driving last night?? D2 traction controlD2 traction control

    I need to do this sometimes to have a little fun I my life. D2 traction control

    Ours are the basic petrol model, although it's loaded compared to the Hilux.
    And quiet and comfortable.
    Just a shame the engine hasn't got the power or torque of the Toyota 2.7

    That LC76 the son has doesn't seem to have a great TC system either,luckily it has dual lockers.

    I think its there just to get another safety star,not that it has many of them either.

    It was sitting on its belly yesterday day in mud(don't ask),going nowhere fast.Got the Deefer out,admittedly it did have muddies,while the LC had road going slippers,but the Deefer did it easy.

    With only one locker on in the LC,either front or rear,it disables TC,but the Ranger leaves TC operational,which i would have thought would be a better system.

    The LC200 has a fantastic TC system,and crawl control that works very well,a mate has one and i have seen it in action a few times.

    Similar to D4,which is also a fantastic TC system,and probably copied from Land Rover as well

    I've read about the crawl control on the 200 Series. Some say it's arguably one of the best TC modes available.

    Re the 76 Series, remember back in the day when the TD5 Deefer TC wasn't near as nice/sophisticated/unobtrusive as the D2?

    02 cdl

    I recently purchased an unregistered 2002 disco to turn into a camper and had to remove the front shaft to do an urgent shaft repair on my 99 disco . a few days later I decided that the 02 was blocking my garage and needed to move it to the machinery shed , I climbed under to see if it had the cdl spigot and hoped to be able to lock it so that I could move it only to discover that it was connected up to a set of linkages ,I went back to the leaver inside and it only moved to high or low but when in low the cdl engaged . Is this an after market system or a Land Rover system ?

    Does it have an OEM badge in front of the lever explaining how to use Cdl,etc?

    What month 02 was it built?

    Later 02,which are MY03 had CDL,any D2 before that didn't have it factory fitted.

    In fact the MY02 didn't have the internals in the TC,so a lever couldn't be fitted aftermarket,without a lot of difficulty.

    Pic of in cab lever set up would be good.

    With factory set up,CDL could be engaged in low or high range,either MY03 or MY04 model runs.

    I have a 2000 D2 that I bought and it has the same setup, as I went to fit a vacuum operated cdl kit and found it had a other stuff connected on the cdl spigot, so when you select low range it also turns on the cdl, now I know why it was so hard to shift into low.

    It would be interesting to know where it came from, as I cannot ask the previous owner.
