    D4 Diff locks ??

    Hi, taken the new D4 ( 3lt hse) off road to Clarence River
    Towed the van in 2.5ton , track drops 600mt in under 2km, fairly steep, we went in and out not a problem, however on way back up noticed on the 4x4 screen, diff locks going in and out centre and rear ( green to orange)
    does this mean it has both diff locks, hope so did not pay for them.
    Cheers Ken

    Yes.

    It means you have a rear locking diff (e-diff). All D3/D4s have a centre clutch that can be locked.

    No, I think you'd better play it safe & get in touch with your local dealer ASAP & arrange for the removal of the rear e-diff straight away.

    I thought the rear locker was standard on all air suspended discos - plus given the price of a HSE I thought a rear locker would have been standard anyway.

    Shhh !!

    Now you better be prepared for a Solicitor's letter from LRA, that warranty on your vehicle will be suspended due to non-payment for addition factory fitted accessories.

    Stop, Do Not pass GO!, do not collect 200#'s, go directly to jail !!!

    It will affect the brakes if you didn't pay for it.

    Did the rear diff lock symbol change color? I know you did say in you post it did, just want to make sure.
    So if you have the Nav to look at while off roading, if you dont order it, the Nav "WILL" show both diff lock symbols, BUT only one will engage-disengage.
    This has caught me out a few times.
    Cheers.

    Hi Pete
    Yes both padlocks at different times were going from green to orange and closing the locks. Looking good. I bought the car off the show room floor
    but no one mentioned it ,they listed other extras though, may be they did not know either Thanks for reply
    Cheers Ken
