    D4 rear diff lock

    Hi all,

    Good morning. I am new here...and I thought you guys are the most informed and educated on D4 aftermarket.

    I am based in UK. I own a D4 2012 SDV6 256bhp. I don't have the factory active locking differential and I would like to fit one.

    After extensive research I found this for sale

    Manuelle 100-%-Sperre, Hinterachse - Discovery 3 und 4

    by the respectable https://www.matzker.de

    I wrote to them enquiring it this was compatible with my car and they said yes.

    Do you actually agree? What do you know about it? I thought this product was available for D3 but not for D4.

    Thanks for your help,

    Nic

    Interesting. It says in the description that it's made by ARB, ARB certainly don't list a rear locker for a D4 on their website, only the D3 as you mentioned.

    ARB initially thought their rear locker fitted the D4 as well as the D3 but then discovered that it didn't fit the D4.

    Retro-fitting an e-diff is possible and wouldn't need calibrating if the control module and e-diff came from the same vehicle.

    Thanks Guys,

    I was hoping that ARB updated its rear diff lock.
    I used google translator and then I wrote to them. In all fairness they also said that it can be fitted to my car but they have never fitted one

    I should enquire ARB directly...

    Graeme can you please explain this a bit better?
    I have been reading about it here and there but I am not sure how feasible it is.
    In the sense that here in UK very few D4 are fitted with this factory optional. Riding one will be extremely difficult. And who is going to fit it. Can that be fitted without coupling with TR? Thais would be a much easier option.

    Many thanks

    I understand that the centre can be made to fit with a slight modification to the diff housing opening.

    Look at this:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231999645510


    Can I get someone to fit it??? It should go in straightaway. The issue is the connection with TR and ETC. I guess I can control it with a switch.
