    Stig, what are your thoughts on the standard "diff lock" in the Defender. I haven't really had reason to use mine yet. I assume that it's a bit dissappointing if you are moving to the ARB locker?

    If you can stretch it to getting a front locker as well, I think ARB are running a promo where u get the compressor (full one not the locker only crap) and a tyre inlfation kit and some other stuff. makes the price seem pretty worthwhile.

    I'm tempted too

    HUE166, i guess your talking about the high/low leaver difflock??,,, thats only center difflock, lock both front axle to rear, it doesn't stop slip in the diff side to side,

    so the back axle now, if i lift a wheel no matter what, i will still have 100% drive to both wheels, but if you lift a wheel with no locker that wheel will just spin and no power to opposite wheel,

    so no matter what i will allways have at least 3 wheeldrive, with just standed CLD you can only have 2 driving wheels at times

    i think it of electricity, path of least resistance

    arb dont do that deal anymore, i wish they did, but i allso wish i could stretch it to a front aswell, but il just get a good lsd in the next cople of months

    Hey guys!,

    Yeah Stig you should post so piccies of when the locker would be used ( hint hint glass house...)

    I also jumped on the ARB locker band wagon, with big credits going to STIG for getting a good deal!!! cheers mate.

    An air locker just allows also less wheel spin ( yep less enviromental damage) when driving off road, especially on cars without traction control.

    p.s. the p38 has a factory fitted air comp hahahaha .....

    Agreed with Vlad...ARB air compressor under drivers seat is very loud...but seems to be the best location for it. I was thinking of lining the inside of the box with some sound proofing.

    Apparently you can get a breather extention for it? But ARB know nothing about it. The instructions talk about an extension???

    ARB want about $180 for the compressor (just the locker compressor), but check ebay. I picked up mine for $120 brand new..



    Cheers
