Lockers

Since it's a 2008 Puma it would have been out of warranty for a few years now.

Have a look at the Harrop e Locker. Much neater than air lockers as there's no compressor to worry about. Quieter too. Each locker draws 4 amps when in use. I've had some experience with an eLocker and have been happy with it. I've never been a fan of air lockers - too many stories about oil blow back from the breather tubes, plus there's more components that can potentially fail.

I've seen good results with the Tru Tracks (front & rear on Defenders and Discos). For the price of fancier stuff, you can get front and rear Tru Tracks, and being Rover diffs, you can fit them yourself.

I've got front & rear ARB Air Lockers, which have let me down as many times as they've helped me, (dislodged air line, fuse, compressor issues).

Mine is 2013 model so it will void warrantee and yes it is the Harrop I have been investigating. Good to hear your feedback. As you know the puma doesn't have much room for compressor so e locker would be preferable

Cheers

Tru tracks, well I haven't yet come across so I will look into them

Be aware that Truetracs are limited slip diffs, not lockers. More info here.

and I dont know if they have a locker for the puma yet do they?

Fitting lockers doesn't void your warranty - dealers can't do that, they have to be able to show that the locker caused the failure. The biggest issue is that, in practical terms, this typically shifts the burden of proof to the owner, particularly given some dealers woeful attitude.

Be an interesting insurance claim if a failed front locker caused an accident, I reckon :D

im talking about Eaton tru tracks and full lockers. they fit the front because thats standard Rover I thought but I didnt think they had anything to fit the p38 rover type rear

Harrop now make the e-locker for Lsnd Rover too. Love this concept. No hoses, no compressor etc, just a wire. I like the detroit locker too but will go with manual now that the e-locker is available. Just have do lots of saving.
