Please dont stop with the info I need as much as I can get :o

i will take photos of the steps of cutting the wire to stop the disabling of the TC/ABS when you turn the ignition off when the CDL is engaged.

Hi Baz can you advise why the above wires are cut :eek:

If the CDL is engaged without the engine being turned off & on, TC/ABS still operates. If you engage CDL then turn the engine off i.e. stop for lunch & take off again, the TC/ABS will not operate; an important point to remember if you expect it to work at a particular point.

By cutting the wires you are blocking the CDL Engaged signal to the ECU and therefore not disabling your ABS & TC.

AH HA cant you just simply disable the CDL start the car and reengage CDL leaving ABS TC still on :eek:

Yes but that may become a tedious operation if stalling frequently (read: stall recoveries - steep inclines etc).

That's if you're in a manual...;)

As long as you don't turn the ignition off, stalling and re-starting won't disable the TC/ABS, thank god (i stall alot, hey Phil;))

Most LRs you have to turn the ignition off if you stall, because you can only turn the key to the crank position once per ignition on cycle. Are DIIs different?

Yes, you can just re-start without turning the key to the off position.

For those after a cheap foolproof cdl actuator, this is what i am going to try and make, shouldnt cost more than $20 to make. http://www.rovershoppe.com/cdl_handle.html
You will need to get out of the car to engage/disengage the cdl but it beats climbing under the car with a 10mm spanner and getting icy cold water dripping on your arm whilst you try not to burn your arm on the exhaust pipe
