    E-diff....how do you tell on Carsales.com.au

    Hi all
    I am considering a L494 SDV8 and am looking for a low km 2nd hand, with e-diff.

    On Carsales.com.au this Option is "Differential Rear - Active/Electronic". Type this into the search box and it will bring up cars with this option. At least it works with L405 and Disco, L320 RRS. I haven't found one advert for a L494 where this search works. And I've been looking for ages.

    Does anyone know how you can tell from an advert on carsales if it has this Option?

    cheers

    Ediff only comes on L494 with Dynamic option which includes torque vectoring etc. I have it on my SDV6. ‘‘Twas quite an expensive option.

    If you have access to the VIN the Topix site will tell you the full build detail.

    https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/t...cle/lookupForm

    I just registered as an Independent Operator some time ago ..... a lot of the detailed stuff you need to pay for... but basic stuff like the build info is there for free.

    Request it

    Ask Car Sales for the VIN, I'm sure they will advise a potential customer.

    Regards

    I also found that quite often cars on carsales are also advertised on other pages .... often with details like VIN that are not included in the Carsales adds...

    I found the eDiff was a feature that sometimes never got mentioned on any ad - but was on the original Topix build.

    Hope you find what you are looking for....

    Re “....so found that quite often cars on carsales are also advertised on other pages .... “ do you mean other websites?

    Hmmm just a thought, but I'd take a better example second hand without an e diff over a slightly less good second hand vehicle with it. I know your current vehicle has an e diff, but you really don't need it. I went through a serious mud hole a few weeks ago with ATs on the the D4 and after 5 secs of throttle, few left to rights of the wheel and straight up and out. And RRS has a shorter wheel base so you'd probably do it even easier... Just a thought.

    If it means that much to you though it might be worth hunting for one. Would have to be doing some pretty serious off-road driving and often for me to understand why...
