My Ashcroft Locker was ordered Monday (or Tuesday night) from Sydney and was delivered to my door the following Friday pm. £101.00 delivery.

For what its worth, the locker's bloody good too!!

Thanks Dave.

Well it was rogues and scoundrels that built this fine country in the first place. It's in the DNA. Why would you expect things to improve after only 230 odd years.

OK, thanks,

thats more than I thought, I thought it was nearer £ 70-80, we just charge it out at what TNT charge us, it's actually about 3KG heavier than other diff centres due to it's construction,

glad you like it,

Dave

I just checked the lr4x4.com forums and as I suspected, failure of ARB Airleakers in the area suggested above is quite common.

thanks for all th info Dave,

hows the solution comming for the ford 9 inch arb?? that should be a big hit for you over in the USA.

Where is the force9 at?

And will there be a salisbury version??? (preferably including a 35 spline option...)

OK thanks , so what is the cost of one in AUD ?

Are they actuated at the same pressures etc as the ARB lockers? I ask because I already have a rear air locker and therefore the ARB compressor in my Defender. Is it just a plug and play proposition same as if I was to fit an air locker to the front diff, or would I need other mods ?;
