hmm, i might just do the same, saves time trying to track down plugs which i can imagine could be a nightmare! cheers

Slightly OT, but did you already have the plugs to connect into the Difflock switch (the one that tells you when its engaged) or did you buy them somewhere? Would like to wire mine up so i know when they've engaged/disengaged If you did buy them, where from?

I also took my truck testing for the first time yesterday and your locker actuators seemed to work faultlessly so thanks

Potentially silly question, but is there a way to know its deffinately running with the no cat map once tune resistor fitted? Obviously it should be provided it's fitted in the right place

The v8 disco 2's have a seperate gearbox Ecu so I'm assuming the td5's do. Trouble is, it's going to need inputs from engine Ecu and probably abs Ecu so unless you can get these inputs to work it probably won't shift. Those inputs may well not come direct from the different ecu'a either they might go via the bcm. Maybe try getting wiring diagrams and studying how it is connected? Or buy a disco and find the Ecu and remove wires from the trans Ecu and see if it still shifts? I've recently bought Compushift from Dave for running a p38 box in my winch challenge buggy and its a very smart looking setup (not fully fitted yet) it's a lot of money but for a near enough plug and play situation it's not bad value,

Oh and make sure you get a box from a 4.6 as its a stronger box than the 4.0 /2.5's (4hp24e over 4hp22e)

Look at compushift on ashcrofts website. Standalone controller for the p38/disco 2 box which allows full adjustability of the shift points and also adds tiptronic control. My kit turned up Monday You'll need to strip the gearbox and change the output shaft and tail housing for one from a discovery/rrc though as the p38 uses a different transfer box.

What for?

Nope, electronically controlled via solenoids. The linkage from the shifter to the box is mechanical though (incase that's what you mean)

Ideal thanks

Hi, Does anyone know if all P38 gearbox XY switches have the same plug on them? I.e will a switch from a diesel plug into a loom from a petrol? Cheers

Car based i believe. not sure if he's doing it as a one-off for someone or planning to do more, can't hurt to ask anyway

is the 722 the trans that comes with the om606? if so drop Neal at Red-winches an email, i heard on the grape vine he's made/making an adapter to go from merc gbox to lt230

Shifts are controlled electronically on the p38's so won't be a sticky governor like when rrc's /disco 1's are slow to shift when cold, but the box's do still use hydraulic oil under pressure to operate so fresh fluid and filter could well help
