Thread: Dealer lieing about selecting Low Range on Disco2?

Thanks for all the advice. The dealer was Austral LR at Newstead Brisbane.

When I turned up he was a step ahead as he must have realised the stupidity of the advice he had received, and passed on, and the problem was rectified before I got there. It is still stiff but does get in there, and works easily when rolling slowly. It seems to be getting less stiff with more use. All this supports the theory that zero use is the root cause rather than anything more serious.

I will have to find out how to lubricate it myself when I speak to the mechanic about setting up the centre difflock, which I think is installed in these models but with no mechanism for activating them.

Anyway I am now a proud Disco owner trying to ignore all the LR bashing on other forums. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

The transfer case is a non-syncro gearbox, so if it wont go into gear while stationary ie wont mesh, you will need to re-spin the input ( put auto in drive then neutral with t'fer in neutral) before trying again. The best method is to change on the move < than 8kph.

When my Disco2 was new I couldn't even get the transfer lever to move at all while the truck was stationary. It had to wear in. IMHO the way to do it properly is to have the auto in neutral, the truck rolling slowly (just moving) and move the transfer lever between high and low. It never gives dramas doing it this way.
