Transfer Box diff lock

[garyjrode]

Hi all, could anyone tell me how difficult it is to fit a diff lock mechanism to the transfer box on a Disco 2 x-reg (2000), as I understand it the transfer box has the internal mechanism as standard yet in the early Disc 2 models the activation controls were not installed in the cab.

Secondly would I gain that much more traction with center diff lock concidering I have traction control, any word of wisdom welcomed.

Thanks Gary.

I've not done this job but have lots of experience working on Disco 1's CDL unit, I would allow a whole day to retrofit the unit once in hand....You may want to consider a MORSE type "push pull cable" to operate that little lever on the side of the T-case, I think it would be an easier install and you may not have to remove the center console...

Thanks Gary.

Everything helps !!
