Only thing i wish is that it didn't take the coin tray, would prefer if i could use one of the multitude of switch blanking covers instead

the coin tray and the ash tray are interchangeable... no one smokes in mine.. so when I put in my AMV kit... I just put the coin tray in the ash tray hole and tossed that..

Oh and Pedro is right.... makes a HUGE difference in sand..

I thought i'd let you guys know what i did, i bought the DIIa CDL kit from Discoparts for $555 delivered, it's only 29 pounds postage from these guys.

That's a good price considering Ashcroft quoted me $825.80 delivered and the one you have ordered is the same picture they have used. Makes you wonder some times.

Are you installing yourself?

Yes i will install it myself.

I did notice that the last time i looked at the Ashcroft site they had put their price up from 190Pounds to 245pounds

+ their postage is 75pounds.

I emailed Triumph Rover Spares, they have one for $650, if your interested, you could maybe negotiate with them.

if yes there should be heaps at our freindly wreckers

Because the D1 actuator is a linkage system, it needs to be slightly modified and the lever has a differant mounting setup, i priced one from Land Vehicle spares and quoted $350 for the lot, LVS are always good with service and prices so i would think most others would be around this price or even more.

The 98/99 D1 is the closest to the D2 but like the D2 not many around in wrecking yards.

I bought a simple manual lever kit almost 3 years ago from Adam Skerritt of Topline Offroad Products. It's basically a bent rod with a plate that fits over the transfer box CDL actuator. Utterly simple and reliable, nothing to go wrong. Total cost with all bits required was less than $350 and it took just a couple of hours to fit.
The rods fits alongside the high/low/range lever with a nice black leather knob at the top. I was a little concerned about any noise that might be introduced into the cabin but it hasn't been too bad.

Greetings,

Triumph Rover Spares in SA only do 2nd hand kits. You could try Peter Brown at PCB Land Rover. He imported an original LR kit from the UK and fitted it for me on my D2

. He got two sent over and may still have one on hand. His number is 08 83500110.

Cheers
