Why would they not just have used a Toyota 8" CW&P as has been done before.....and make a bolt in casing with pinning facility built in and adapters to use a Rover center or ARB 24 spline side hears or there own center? That route makes a lot of sense. Lots of low cost CW&P available at a variety of ratios. And, yes, I do know that Jack Mac has been doing this for many years.

'Cause plenty of blokes on here have bought and run the P38 hypoid centre ??!!

There was a problem with some CWP's that were noisy, but I think that's been addressed.

I have the Aschroft HDP38 and swear by it, there is no way I would go back, there were some teething problems with it whining on deceleration however Dave Ashcroft got in touch with my mechanic in Australia and had the diff sent for relapping. This combined with a bit of time and you can barely hear it and thats only at 40km/h, it is a lot quitter than the the other noises the defender puts out.

There is no question about the quality of Dave's products, at the end of last month he had sold 3,000 diff locks with zero failures. He gives a 5 year brakage warranty on his half shafts as well. Not many people stand behind products like he does (if they did I would probably still have portals!)......
