I remember reading the CV's are different (higher rated) on the e diff D4s.
Perhaps ask if the CV's and shafts can also be supplied with the e diff not sure what other parts are different
I spent sometime looking into the locker options last month before I purchased my D4. After talking to a ARB and other diff locker suppliers no solution is available and none in development. Also spoke with a number of LR specialist workshops around the country again no luck. for D3 yes but no D4
I agree that ideally you should use the original the way it was designed to work or alternatively a proper aftermarket solution like ARB...which unfortunately doesn't exist.
I have the guys at ProSpeed looking into it for me. However there is very little experience on this.
I believe that one of the owner at MUDTECH 4?4 | Discovery 3 & 4 special parts did it on his D4 but I didn't manage to talk to him as yet.
The guys at Matzker KFZ Technik never installed a rear diff lock to any of their Disco.
On the other note I agree with the beauty of the old system you mentioned above.
My Disco 2 was in fact perfect: it had Traction Control and a manual centre diff lock. If the electronic was to play up or a CV gone it would have still work...
I think the Disco 2 is a good 4x4 with good mix of modern (air suspension, ETC DHC) and all mechanic solutions...but you can't have everything...:mad:

This is a bad news:( None in development!Quote:

I was upsetting going off roading last weekend with a friend. He has a D4 with no rear lock but he has big 275/65 Cooper STT on 18 wheels. I have Cooper A/T Zeon LTZ. Both of us got stuck on the same wet rocky/muddy step. I could clearly see one single wheel spinning on rear and front axel! So Traction control was working up to a certain degree. We eventually negotiated it working on ground solutions...

Did you have them in low range rock crawl?
Even just more and constant go-pedal should have made TC work properly to do the job. I've been paddling through sloppy stuff on my road (not driveway) in grass/gravel/sand mode so can see that the centre diff doesn't normally lock yet TC is chattering away.
Others have also found that traction control does not work if you have a foot on the brake pedal too.Quote:
