Just bought a 2003 TD5ES and have a question ref the transmission. My car has no diff-lock fitted (despite the sticker by the transfer lever) will this hinder the off-road traction? My previous car (Freelander) had a viscous coupled system that engaged automatically, does the disco also have this?
The Disco has ETC/EBD which is basically using the ABS to brake a free spinning wheel.
If you want a diff-lock the kits are available to enable the one which
*may* be present on your T-box - I'm sure somebody will pop up and give you part numbers and a price shortly along with how to tell if yours can have it.P.
For the linkage there are several options from groveling underneath with a 10mm spanner via a home made linkage that you operate from the side of the car to retrofitting the complete cable/lever assembly etc from a Disco I (I think).
Have a google and the "How To..." on
The transfer box needs the CDL spigot on the outside, you can feel for this from underneath I forget exactly where you need to feel/look but that is on the web.
