Arb diff lock or detroit locker?
Disco_Stu:
120mph in a lifted disco on standard brakes? Dave, for this reason if no other, I'm glad your miles away from the roads me and my family use pal. I've never been past 85 in mine and then about once. :police:

Seriously have a word with yourself pal!
120mph in a disco?Even with ,ahem, 300bhp i think you would be pushing it but seeing as you have got the worlds biggest roof rack on it, along with every other bit of tat possibly nailed on i reckon it wouldnt even make a ton.

my 200tdi does 62 flat out by road angel lmao ( speedo cable snapped after 2 inch body lift) but its great for off roading as im only a beginner, my mate has a arb locker in his disco and says its great ( untill he pops it again ) the detriot locker is just basically a limited slip diff isnt it? as one wheel spins it locks the other to it?

Meanwhile, back on thread ............. ;)
ARB's are probably the better option (plus you get onboard compressor - great for reinflation of tyres). They are switchable, so YOU decide when they're on or off. They do seem to be "high maintenance" though and often require attention and they are VERY expensive!
Detroits are "fit n forget" in terms of maintenance - just need to adjust driving style a little and they're a lot cheaper!!
I run a Detroit in the rear (open diff in front axle) - this coupled with good articulation gets me (almost) everywhere I need to go and my Disco gets used and abused almost every weekend. The only downside to a Detroit, is trying to make low speed turns in very slippery mud, it has a tendancy to 'push on' rather than let you make the turn.
Hopefully, that's helped with some of the pro's & con's for you .........
