I have wondered about that too. £200 from some suppliers - but only seems to have about £15 of low-tech materials. It is basically a very simple bit of kit that should be costing about £50 by my reckoning.

USE the complete top off a D1,that is how mine was made to work,ask jamesmartin,he knows all about using that.

You can get a brand new gear lever for about £30, which I think is more complicated.
Finding 1 in a breakers yard might be difficult and will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Thanks, I will ask JamesMartin .... (that's a bit strange to me, as my best friend is called James Martin lol)

I would also be interested. Can the lever from a Disco 1 be used easily then?
gemsdad
NOT BOTHERED.
yes,but ask james martin as he is the one to ask regarding this.

Cheers Gemsdad will wait for him to comment before I bother him with a message.

NOT BOTHERED.
No,just ask him,he is always willing to help others,especially on here.

I know but it does show you what is needed, even if £9 for a sticker is eye-watering ...cheaper to get one from a D1.
gemsdad
NOT BOTHERED.
True,would rather make my own sticker,feck paying 9 quid.

yes ,you just swap the td5 gear box top and transfer box hi/low housing plus linkage for the d1 type it just bolts on ,it costs little if you have access to the parts ,quite expensive if you bought as new parts

I PM'd james, thanks for your reply.
Thanks for everyone else input too, its very greatly appreciated.
So, I was having a think over the weekend, the difflock lever just moves to the left, pulls a cable, which moves an arm about 45 degrees (give or take a bit).
The price of a D2 difflock is too expensive, and using parts from a D1 seems like a lot of work.
So, I have started to design my own diff lock. Hopefully I will have it done by xmas
