Yes but you have a p38 diff not a rover diff.

It seems the op has a lot to learn about diffs.

No ****, just mentioning my experience with maxi drive locking differentials!

I really wonder wtf you were posting in this thread then. An md locker leaves the same (weak) crownwheel and pinion in place. A p38 centre is stronger than a rover centre despite the downgrade in pinion spacing.

I have witnessed countless rover rear crownwheel and pinion sets grenade despite md centres.

To be honest, regardless of what diff it is, it's the dickhead behind the wheel in most cases!!!!

i guess the point is. if you have a sals, sick with it, locker is the same $$$ for ether diff. and you end up with a better result in the end. or you can spend a lot more $$ on a rover and get close to a sals. wasted money.

as for ground clearance, just shave it, plenty of posts on doing that. simple easy and cheep

any other option is a down grade. plenty of people have gotten away with it, plenty have not.


better to spend the money on the front diff, and that will be more expensive if you have the wide sub 10 spline diff to start with

For maxi drive lockers the sals kit was much cheaper, $1100 vs 1800 for a rover kit. That is because md (now mr auto) modify the existing centre rather than replace it.

can I run 35s on a stock Salisbury with maxi axles?
