Thread: D4 Rear locker

welcome, I've seen plenty of options for a rear locker, ARB do one , Harrop do one.

go down to the pinnacles and put your query there, you will get a lot better response.

my apology , you are already there...I had just been in introductions...my bad

You just don’t need it. Go out there and use it and you’ll soon see it’s really not something worth trying to retrofit. They’re supremely capable without.

fit a winch so at least you can get yourself out if stuck, the few guys here that have fitted a discreet winch kit look good.

DiscoJeffster is right on the money.

The advances in programming of the traction control system over the years, especially from late 2013 onwards meant that the fitment of the extra diff locker was effectively a waste of money unless you are going to very extreme areas. Not my personal experience but from experts on this forum in previous threads.

And as per ^^^ you can get the 2013+ code flashed to earlier models to give the equivalent improvements.

Mine has one and looking at the system readout it is called upon quite a bit off road esp in muddy situations. But yes they are v good without.

I'd go a winch first.

Well of course if you have one it’ll absolutely use it, but I argue that for most people they’d never exceed the capability of the electronic equivalent.

Care to provide a few hints on flashing options for us less learned?
I think I remember Tombie making a comment over a year ago about 3? recommended ones @ $25 ea for the 2.7, but now can't find it and interested in any appropriate updates for my poverty 2.7, and how to access them.
