td5 disco2 transfer box identification, diff lock

Hi can anyone tell me how I find out if my transfer box has got diff lock built into it, and are the transfer boxes the same in all disco 2, ie auto and manual, thanks phil

the early td5's had the workings but no lever later td5's only had it if it was a factory fit. So if you have late td5 with no diff lock option you will not have the gubbins in transmission.

Hi mine is a 1999 td5 auto, just wanted to know where the extra linkage is on the box, thanks Phil

Have a look at this link www.discovery2.co.uk/Factory Diff Lock

Pre-2003 had the internals fitted, after 2003, and the fitting of electronic traction control not all transfer boxes had the internals; some did, some didn't as far as I know.
The only way to check definitively is to actually check on the top of the T-box for the activating spigot.

Thanks guys will look tomorrow just to be 100% certain it's in box, if it's there will be looking for the linkage,

no for a spigot poking up from front of out put housing on transfer box ,the black shaft with thread in housing secured with 3 bolts in pic

As your car us a 99 it will have the cdl internals in the box. The point at which they stopped fitting the cdl box was around mid 2001.

Was it different for V8s then, or have you just forgotten they exist???

Just to let everyone know, I looked yesterday and diff lock is fitted to the box, got to sort the linkages out now, they seem expensive, has anyone made there own system up, ie air cylinder straight onto thetransfer box, or electric system,
