I have a 2001 Disco series II TD5 auto.
I have had a linkage fitted which results in diff lock being engaged whenever low range is selected.
Apart from not being able to use low range on "non slip"surfaces, are there any other disadvantages with this setup?

A couple of situations come to mind
1) sand maybe - sometimes you might want hi range to keep some momentum up, and CDL helps minimise wheelspin. And you need all the help you can get in sand if ETC cuts in
2) Manouvering in a tight spot offroad, like a 3 point turn on rocky stuff. Releasing the CDL would be kinder on axles etc.
3) just normal dirt road driving - mines more stable at say 80 or 90 kph on dirt if CDL is engaged.
