umm will a series one (Disco) system fit?

yes the D1 can fit however it is a lever linkage rather than the D2 cable one and allegedly transmits noise into the cab

Not allegedly transfers noise, it definitely transfers noise and vibration. This is why the design was changed from a lever operated-direct TC mounted unit to a cable operated-tunnel mount unit.

I priced all the electric kits and went for a TRS kit for $695, seemed dear at the time however better than laying in the mud...

It took me all of 2 hours to fit, and I can disengage it then turn off the car. Restart car and re-engage without TCS getting upset.

Mate paid a bit more for the electric set up and the one time he needed it it failed.

And the car looks factory due to it having factory parts (although later) No holes had to be drilled......only rivets removed and replaced

Dude, I'm with you on the factory look and feel. It's neat, reliable and doesn't devalue the vehicle. Worth the money in the long run.

Cut the difflock feed to the SLABS ECU and you dont ever need to do even that

in / out engine on or off, it not matter!!!

Ah yes I have looked at that, however I think I might put in a switch so I can turn off TCS in the sand

Why X2, from all accounts the TC works well in sand and mud.

I have been told by a few owners and have also read that the TCS goes off pretty bad in soft sand, causing the brakes to heat and the car to slow.

Having not a lot of experience in soft sand and really limited beach work (prefer the bush) I can't say as to whether this would affect me. So I thought having the switch would be the best of both worlds.

Does cutting the wire effect TCS around town?
