CDL on 2000 disco 2
I have been reading about different ways to make it so you can engage the CDL from inside the cab on the early D2s. Has anyone had any experience with these? Also does it cause more wear and tear on the drive train components when the CDL is engaged while offroad? about how many turns, or part of turn, does the shift thing on the top of the xter case need to turn with the 10mm wrench? thanks for any help you can give me on this.

The best way to do it is by buying a DI CDL linkage and shifter.

No it wont put any extra wear and tear on your driveline as long as you use it on slippery surfaces, like off road or snow covered roads.
If you engage the CDL with a wrench it is moving the wrench from 12o'clock to 3o'clock.
So a 1/4 turn.

I used this kit from lucky8:

You can sometimes find used DI shifters with linkage, but they are not as easy to work with compared to the lucky8 kit. You can try and find one from a 2004 Disco, but those are VERY though to come by.
In other words, if you cant find a used shifter with linkage, go with the lucky8 kit!

The reason they are so expensive is because used 04' shifters are pretty hard to come by since most are still on the road. They are also in high demand and Lucky8 is one of the few places that carries brand new ones so, like most popular LR stuff, they are overpriced. As mentioned, the cable is much easier to install than solid linkage. My mechanic who helped me install mine said it would be harder and take much longer to install a used DI shifter.
