    Ive tried both ways, and it steers a lot better on the dirt with the CDL locked, but I find I get a fair bit of windup if its just a dirt road, not really loose dirt, so that puts me off doing it on just normal dirt roads. Will try it on the Capes corrugations in March and see if the windup isnt as bad.

    I have been told by a couple of service mechanics that particularly when they are well run in you should go for synthetic oil for turbo diesels.

    I have also found that on gravel - even corrugated but fairly flat stuff that a normal car could drive, the handling improves with the CDL locked. I think in the past I have bee too reluctant to use it and on a 4wd course I went on the teacher told us to lock it as soon as we went onto sand/gravel.

    Good luck with your bus. They like regular servicing and will reward looking after.

    cheers

    Just like others ahve said above, I lock my centre diff pretty much as soon as I leave the black top. Never had a problem with wind up yet.

    I've always had a problem with the cdl. I'm driving along and think it might be time.

    Then I look at the plaque on the firewall and think.

    This is a Land Rover, are we really in conditions difficult for a Land Rover yet?

    Beaten by the hype. :!:

    On with the cdl

    Cheers
    Simon
