In Australia ETC/ABS comes standard on Defender 90, 110 SW, and 110 Crew Cab. It is optional on 110 HT, and 110 HCPU. It is not available on any 130.

I had a reply from BAS. Below
What they have is better than nothing, eh.
I have also asked what they have in development for the 2.2 systems.
When I get a Defender I will not change anything untill I have done some trips and seen for myself what's what.
Except perhaps to add the Mulgo long range tanks.

Hi Robert,

BAS sell Blackbox Solutions diagnostic products, they don't develop their own. The head honcho of Blackbox Solutions post to AULRO under the name BBS Guy and is a regular poster to the Electronic Diagnostics forum. If you are interested in what the status of the 2.2 is you can always send him a PM, or post to diagnostics area of the forum.

It's worth noting Blackbox Solution also offer a discount on equipment purchases to AULRO members. There are some conditions - being a member for more than 6 months and a minimum number of forum posts - to prevent people signing up purely to get the discount.

Hmm, I suppose the hardtop has the same diff,s ?
Without the TC, they would need something like locking diff,s then.
If lockers fitted without the optional TC, I wonder if that would still void the warrenty ?
Perhaps that would be an important question to ask a dealer before placing an order. Or maybe better to just order the optional TC.
I wonder if you can have that without the ABS ?

Cheers.

Robert.

PS: Thanks for that info Paul.

Yes the warrenty goes. I had a locker fitted when my vehicle was just 2 weeks old, no warrenty on the rear diff after that. Even a pinion oil seal weep they would not touch. They suggested I take it to A.R.B. to fix. The remainder of the transmission was still warrented though. I would order the T.C. option, as I said in an earlier post, I have yet to use my locker and we go to some remote areas to play.

ETC and ABS are all the same electronic braking system. ABS braking is a very good thing.

Would look great with the white roof

Can you still get a white roof? If not paint it.
