I am about to purchase a new Disco, my decision is between one of the last 03's, in order to grab a discount, or an 04 before the 05's come out and changes everything. The biggest difference I can find between the 03 and the 04 is the addition of CDL. I am assuming this stands for Center Differential Lock... can anyone offer some insight to the advantage/disadvantage of CDL; how does the Hill Decent Control (HDC) play into the picture - or point me to some reference materials? Thanks for the help to a newbie! | ||

Try and e-mail Mike Noe. has has added the CDL to his truck and could give you first hand experence. I could give my .02, but I have never not had CDL, so it would be one sided. | ||

One word as spoken to me by the great Disco Jedi Master: CONTROL Go here to read about ETC and HDC: http://www.disco2.com/tech/history/#stopping Go here to read about the 2003: http://www.truckworld.com/Sport-Utility/03-LR_discovery/03-discovery.html Next, go here to read about CDL: http://www.disco2.com/faq/faq-answer.phtml?uid=106 After reading all of this good stuff. Do the following: #1 Call Al Gore and thank him for the internet. #2 Go buy a 2004 Disco 2. | ||

Wow! What else can I say but thank-you! I wish Al had invented this Internet thing back when I was in school, I'd a been able to get straight C's :-) P.S. So who is this Jedi Knight who taught you so much? | ||

well, I would get the cheaper one and then the money that you saved I would install lockers front and rear so you don�t have to worry if you made a bad decision. BUT personally I would get the 2004. | ||

Paul, I read your big post earlier this evening and was laughing so hard that I couldn't type. Too funny!! That was great, thanks!!  Bill, When you call Al to thank him, will you please ask him: WHERE is this internet located? Jamie |
