I know this is probably a stupid question but whatever. Is the Discovery 2WD all the time or is it always 4WD. I was under the impression it is usually 2WD until shifting the transfer case over to 4WD. If it is usually 2WD is it FWD or RWD.
I think its depends on if you have a d1 or d2. I know d2 is awd. 99/01 have a cdl with no way to engage it unless you mod it out with a cdl shifter. 02/03 models just simply have no cdl, 04 is the only d2 model that comes stock with cdl. As for d1's idk, I have a d2. Hope this helps a little
No, neither axle diff is lockable from the factory. But even if they were they'd only effect the two wheels on that axle.
It's all covered in the owners manual.

Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck
in places even more inaccessible.
There are three differentials on a Discovery, front, center and rear.
The center diff is lockable, meaning when locked it sends equal power to both driveshafts.
Unlocked (normal mode) it is a full time 4x4, power is sent to all four wheels all the time, the diffs then do what diffs do and power follows as such.

Its a 1997 Discovery if that helps at all. So basically it is 4wd all the time? Im really only asking because i want to know if its possible to drift it in the snow, but being 4wd all the time that might be difficult.
Year makes no matter.
Yes you can drift it in the snow.
I bust snow drifts all the time.
