Redback
Please help me --- I went looking for a 2004 hi/lo cdl set up and the dealer I was talking to asked if I knew which one as there are 4 different styles of cdl assemblies . All about a vin number and He quoted me in the like 800 for thew stick alone I await your responce eagerly.

First I've heard of different actuators being available. Might he have meant that there are different transfer cases fitted to the Series II Discovery i.e. 99-01 CDL Fitted (not connected), 01-02 No CDL Fitted, 03-04 CDL Fitted & Connected.Quote:

I think I have found an alternative.. British Off road has a kit that joins the low linkage to the cdl. They dont sell it as a kit but will fit it for $ 330 sound good. No electrics even better. I think I will go for a drive to Nambour
I dont think there will be any problems if it is only hooked to the low selecter
Any opinions
Thanks for the information

CDL in high is VERY usable and handy....
I landed a D2a CDL for $550.00
Got to say - I tend to agree - if you are going to the effort - you might as well get it working properly/fully - not just in LOWQuote:

If it connects to Lo, sounds like it engages whenever Lo is selected :confused: , if that's the case, then you loose the ability to use Lo on the hard stuff i.e. backing the trailer up the driveway etc.Quote:

Aulro people -- anybody -- any ideas of spare parts /wreckers in any state
I would love to hear from anyone that may have an idea of someone wrecking a disco with a cdl unit for sale.
Thanks

Hi Colin, how about a
Landy Andy type fix untill you find one?
simple, cheap, could possibly be made bullet proof,
but it works.
