One other issue with Maxi-drives is that they require an engineers certificate. That is, because fitting them requires cutting and welding of the diff casing, they have to go through some serious inspection before a certificate is issued. But I suppose this is only an issue if you want insurance cover.
At least this thread has allowed me to work out who thinks they are the Alpha dogs on this forum. They have gone around ****ing everywhere to mark out their territories.
Yep and drilling holes in the 3rd is aok
Wooof:p
Yes it is. It only covers cutting, bending, heating and welding. The third is not actually part of what is covered. Maybe you should read point 6 in the attached.Quote:

My point exactly, hence the lack of smiley on the end;)Quote:

The other ironic part of that attachement, which I have a hard copy of here, from many moons ago, is that, it implies you can drill as many holes in your suspension components as you see fit, without needing approval, good luck with that
Boys, Boy, Boys! Love your work. This is almost as good as the suspension thread. :twisted::twisted::twisted:
As for the original problem, I think that has been answered about 10 times. Maxidrives are slower to lock and you just have to wait for the light to come on and you will be ok. I have only heard of one person having maxidrive problems and that was something to do with the actuator binding up, nothing that couldnt be fixed with a big hammer.
I have maxi rear and ARB front. I like the way you dont need a seperate air source to power the maxidrive and I like the light that tells you it is on.
I like the price and the positive actuation on the ARB locker.
As for engineering of maxidrives, that is the first I have heard of that. I guess it does make sense since you have to weld to the axle housing but I have not heard of anyone getting it done. I would never bother getting it done.
So to sum up :
Any locker is good (as long as it is a REAL selectable locker :p)
No locker is bad
There you go, now you have something else to argue about.:twisted:
We could start a discussion on Detroits:twisted::twisted:Quote:

Poor mans locker. :p
Actually, maybe a CIG locker is really a poor mans locker. :(
Not when you factor in the cost of tyres.:oQuote:

Sorta' like the modern driver with parking sensors front and back, Hill Start Assist, Stability control etc...
