Thread: What actually stops an e-diff retrofit?

So managed to get Away from the terrible two for a few minutes and hopped under the car. Diff kinda looks the same as the image by isuzurover... I just don't know what a non e diff looks like. Pics didn't come out very well

...this time with pics. sorry!!!

From the pic, looks to be an e-diff (seem to have part 4 in diagram a which is the actuator motor). Is it actually a new diff, or have the just picked one up from somewhere and put it in ?

No disrespect to anyone who may be associated and reading, but I had a fairly unhappy/unsatisfactory experience with the main ACT LR dealer last year ... so they are not high on my list of places to go again (ie. if my LR ever screwed up and the choice was ACT or home, I'd have it sent home ... yay again for the NRMA Premium Care ... home was actually their advice last year ... probably should have listened ... ).

EDIT - yeah it looks like the actuator on top. I just couldn't get my phone close enough, or the right angle.

I reckon it is a secondhand diff, Mick - it isn't new. At least I didn’t have to pay for it.

I am not surprised to hear about your experience.

I could put up more pics, but they are all of the same quality - I used my phone, so they aren't the best.

I will ring LR tomorrow with the VIN to check the vehicle's original specs - didn't say anything in TOPIx.

Do you have navigation / 4x4 info screen on your vehicle ?

Anyway, a quiet diff that cost nothing ... all good

I'm not going to say anything else about that mob, as I can't find anything to say that would be in good taste and within the rules !

Couldn't agree with you more!! Plus it doesn't change anything anyway.

Yeah, I have the nav. Gotta make sure I know the original specs for the vehicle though, the diffs won't lock (automatically obviously) if they aren't meant to right?

Its an e-diff.

Well if it didn't have an ediff it won't lock because it is inconceivable that they did a full conversion. Put it in rock crawl, low range, 4x4 info on and go get it crossed up somewhere ... That'll answer the question !!
