Iglooist

Yep, assuming your model Defender has it - the TC applies the brake on the spinning wheel, transfering drive back to the wheel with traction.

Only problem is that you have to spin the wheels before it works - i.e. reactive NOT proactive.

Having said that, it's a lot better than nothing and I think I'll only fit a rear locker to my Puma and let the TC deal with the front.

Let it be known I dont like ARB, everything they have touched on my vehicle has fallen to pieces or had to be fixed in some manner and I would not recommend letting them touch anything you want to actually work.

Having said that this is a good video to demonstrate the difference between diff lock and traction control by 4wd action

130 doesn't have traction control either!

Hey guys just wondering......... Regarding the MT82, if you move in to centre lock position from high range position does the box stay in high range? Or is the centre diff lock only available in low range?
