There's only one size of screen in a D3. And a screen is not required, it's only if you have the sat-nav option.

Diffs lock symbol changes to Red when locked.
And no you don't require the screen to have a eDiff. ;)
Thanks. I've only seen pics. I thought it looked like there were two screen types, a bit like the D4s.Quote:

I was just suggesting it as an easy way of telling if the car thinks it has an ediff.
So it IS possible to completely retrofit to the factory version and functionality, and has been done in the UK by Spooky on www.disco3club.co.uk. I've downloaded the full instructions, and uploaded them to my Box.com account, giving Spooky full credit.

Yes, it is possible, and has been done, just as I mentioned on the first page. It's just a case of how badly you want to do it. ;)
Thanks Sheerluck, sorry I forgot you said it's possible and had been done.....
whats the collective thoughts on having a manual switch in the cabin for the OEM elocker..kind of like an air locker setup but using landrover ediff.
It is not so much as a manual switch (on/off) as a manual dial (% lock (0-100)). The e-locker is not actually a proper locker, it is more correctly described as an e-LSD.Quote:

Our American friend can probably best comment on that as he is selling the kits...
The one we are working on will lock at 25, 50, 75, 100 switchable. It will utilize the temperature sensor, and ease off the lock if it starts to overheat. This will protect the diff.
The project is 80% complete & tested, sourcing the correct electronic connectors to mate with the rover is one of the biggest issues. So it's mainly down to a few loose ends and manufacturing / production.
The design of the e-diff in general is very robust, it's the the low oil capacity that is disturbing. I always recommend the best way to extend their life is change the oil more frequently in them. Mine died of rust, in TX with no rain and no fording.
I hope that answers your question.
