Inboxed you again beast

Hi, I just bought a 2000 disco 2. Does it also need to be reconnected? It is an auto.

[@ethancrisp3491]

FINALLY! I have been searching for a clear video on how to remove the center console and everything else. All other videos just say "remove it" like it is one simple step

[@HomoTheBeast]

+Ethan Crisp good to hear dude, glad you liked it

[@spentacle]

I echo that as I have just broken the hi-lo cable and was wondering how to get to it

[@michaelhart8941]

Loved the video. I have the nipple and have been crawling under the car and putting the diff lock on for years, but want to do the conversion. My Dif lock light has stopped coming on. Is this a problem and how will I know if diff lock is engaged if there is no light?

[@benjilandeur]

Hi mate, thanks for this mod ! Can you tell us what kind of joint u're using ? Kind of loctite but which one ? Thanks in advance and thanks for the help !

Hi, I have a TD5 without any CDL parts. I can get a 300tdi transfer box with all the selector linkages. Can I use it in my Disco2? I was thinking swapping the transfer box front housing? Thanks Bruce

[@HomoTheBeast]

It can be used bit there is electrical parts missing. In the 300 box that are needed for the td5

[@62kmatthew]

hello on mine when feel around there i have a bolt thread sticking up out of there does this mean i cant do the conversion thanks

[@HomoTheBeast]

At the bottom of those threads there should be two flat sides. If they are there you can do the conversion

[@Cruzadu]

Do all Discovery 2's have the diff lock built in but no factory way to activate it, except 2004 models that rolled out of factory with it. Picking up a 2003 LR Discovery 2 SE Auto

[@HomoTheBeast]

They did a breifing period. 2000-20004. Where it what hit and miss. Some got. It. Some didn’t. It’s easy to check. By climbing under and using a torch. Which. You should be checking. The transfer box and gear box for leaks anyway. And any signs. If bad rust and rot. On the chassis.

[@Cruzadu]

@@HomoTheBeast Looking under what would be the indication that mine has it or not, rust free, 118k just a bad oil/coolant leak from the timing chain cover so that gasket seems to be dead and gone.

[@HomoTheBeast]

Sorry about the delayed reply, only just got the message. The only way to tell would be from under the car and looking up between the transfer box and gear box to the point where it would be.

[@cdchantler]

Hi- I just had a cdl internals+linkage fitted by a garage. I was told the warning light wasn’t present so it doesn’t work. However I can see it in the dash and I think the wiring was connected to the switch that goes on transfer case. Any suggestions of why it might not work ? First thing I’m going to do is check bulb in instrument panel

[@HomoTheBeast]

It would only be the light and electronic side that’s not working. If they fitted the diff lock it’s mechanical. I would check they have actually fitted it then see if it locks. The way to test it. Is to Lift one side of the truck put the truck in gear and in to diff lock. And try turn the front and back wheels opposite With diff lock they should only turn the same direction. If you have a auto, put it in park.

[@alexburnham8520]

Would a 300tdi transfer box fit if my D2 td5 doesn't have the nipple you mention thanks in advance

[@plenex]

I got it there ! I am the chooooosen one ! .. My disco is 31.5.2001

[@garethcoope4789]

Can you put a diff lock of a 200 on a td5

[@lowrange1486]

Who is MANUEL?

[@alexburnham8520]

Would a 300tdi transfer box fit the D2 td5 ? Thanks advance

[@HomoTheBeast]

If it’s the r380 Box yes. But some of the earlier ones are different ratio and different fitting I believe but don’t hold me to that. So if you can get a 97 or 98 300tdi box I believe it will fit. But with the price of those. It’s nearly the same as the price of one from a d2. So join the discovery 2 owners club. And then join the selling page on Facebook and there is transferboxes with difflock on there forsale rather cheap

[@welldone2016]

Does it mean that all gearboxes on the Disco 2 are equipt with a diff lock ? You just add a lever control from a Model with Diff lock, that's all ?

[@HomoTheBeast]

+well done no not all of them have the diff lock function. The beast does mention this I believe in part two of the video. I will get in touch with him today and get a better response. BB

[@welldone2016]

Thanks for the quick respond, I am interested to modify my Disco 2, V8 auto from 2002. Locking forward to heart from you.

[@HomoTheBeast]

+well done No problem at all, I'll happily wake him up when I get home 👍

[@HomoTheBeast]

+well done Pre 2000 do. And some 2004s have it. At 14:20 in part one of the video, Beast explains about how to see if your car has the diff lock function. So before you strip out your car, make sure you watch how to see if your car has diff lock. BB

[@welldone2016]

You guys are a big help, I will check this out on my Truck asap, Best regards Greetings from Tanzania

[@russellporter7952]

Hi guys, I bought the top hats and levers off Facebook but it appears there is no bolts with it. Do you happen to know what size and length the longer bolts are?

[@HomoTheBeast]

Without stripping it down I don’t but you can simply Measure the depth of the holes and threads and add 10mm to get the bolt size

[@andrewvassallo3444]

Chock your wheels before you release your handbrake

[@thomasatk9060]

Mate halfords tools r the worst ever

[@HomoTheBeast]

Very true

[@thomasatk9060]

Good video tho mate not long got a disco 2 03 good bit of info, when looking to see if you have diff lock or not is ther a difference between manual and auto if you know what i mean
