How To Use 4WD Low Off-Roading in a Land Rover Discovery 2 

Amazing video. I have a 2004 Disco and was getting so frustrated with the diff lock. You made it super easy. Thanks.

I have 2 of them one 3.9l the other 4.0l I love em

Thank You for taking Your time to lay this all out ...2004 with 131 K here

Thank you my brother. So informative

A well done and useful video.

Great explanation cheers

Good video clear explanation of the transfer case functions. At the 12 minute mark when talking about overdrive, that is actually lockup on the torque converter. So in high range, if you set it do "D" it will shift 1-2-3-4 then at about 54mph it will Lock-up. So you have 4 ratios in the box, but thanks to the lockup function it works kind of like a 5 speed or indeed an overdrive as you put it. If you set it to "3" it will shift 1,2,3, then at 45mph it will lock-up. It will only lock up in "D" or "3" In low range, the torque converter will lock in all four ratios in order to provide engine braking in off road situations. When you apply throttle generously it will unlock, when the car drops to 1mph it will unlock to prevent stalling. As regards the diff lock, CDL can be used in high or low, but its advisable to ease off the throttle before engaging or disengaging the diff lock. In a manual transmission, use the clutch.

Dude, you like to live dangerously in your Disco. I have yet to see any 3-Amigos pop up. Lol Cheers from a 2001 Disco 2 enthusiast with CDL & SRD500070 SLABS in England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I used to have a 99 disco2, it still had a locking diff, i had planned on using a universal choke cable kit to engage the lock, theres just a wire you have to snip so the traction control system doesn’t turn off, alternatley you can install a disco 1 hi/lo lever assembly and locking cable and get the same thing. I hesrd the last year of the disco 2 they gave it the 4.6 and locking center diff again.

Great video, which mode is best for stop & go City driving (less than 35mph) or highway driving (40-80 mph) for 2000 LR Discovery 2 ?

Ok this was super helpful but I’m still confused a bit on the whole going left high and low. How do I know if I have that available. I have an 04 Disco 2 and I can’t seem to be able to move it other than from high to low

Great video but how do I disengage? I'm new using my dad's land rover

I have an automatic and I recently heard that in low range Hill descent will work even if the transmission is in neutral. Seems kind of strange I haven't tried it yet. Usually I do first gear or if I want to feel he'll descent work more and not mostly first gear I will put it in manual mode second gear and you feel Hill descent grabbing much stronger

So disco 2 can do open diff with low gear and not worrying winding up when doing full turn on-road?

Buen dia saludos desde mexico una pregunta espero pueda ayudarme la palanca de cambios quedo atorada y no puedo desarorarla pisando el freno es camioneta land rover Discovery 2 Gracias

Nice explainer.

In a normal day, where do i put the gear? Also can u go to 4 low while on drive?

My 96 came stock with a diff lock

I just got a 96 landrover discovery. Is it ok to drive with the diff unlocked on low on regular roads? Will it damage anything?

Which kit did you use? Who sells it?

I put mine in low but it won't go left to lock, what's the deal? Mine is 2004

Does a 2003 model have 4wd low?

Video is not showing dashboard and control stick while you are talking about them.

Where’s the off-road demos? Also you didn’t explain how to disengage’Sport mode’ for those who don’t know.

So on H it's normal driving
