Got my eye on an early disco 2 td5. I'm comfortable with the rest of a discovery but have absolutely zero experience of the TD5.
So, what they like? Bit more refined and economical? What about electrical woes? Other common problems?
Infact here is pic of when i did mine.
The linkage you want to whip off is on the right (got a nut as a spacer in the pic)
That shaft should move Left and right freely.
It'll just be the lever mech that's seized. Whip the gear gators off and mat then remove the rubber cover to gain access to it. Disconect the linkage and try move it side to side. If it dnt move then whip the whole thing off and soak in WD40 and try and persuade it free.
Alternatively just get...
These guys must be on a big sales drive at the moment. They are putting out some silly cheap prices for me on a 'fender. Up to 50% cheaper infact. Unsure whether id use them again as i didn't have the vest experience last time.
