Arb diff lock or detroit locker?
davidlandy:
I have got an ARB and swear by it - it can easily handle the 320bhp that my TDi has.
boss:
bah! 320 my TDI has so much power that if i put my foot down i dont wheel spin the earth spins :afro: :lol:
davidlandy:
really wow?
what mods have you done to yours?
on mine I have removed the EGR, tweaked the fuel pump and fitted a K&N sticker to the slam panel.
boss:
well what you do is take the head off and cram around 8 3/4 large-ish ponies in there then mount the gear box in the passinger seat which as we all know doubles the power, sacrifice a small goat on the dash THEN put the k&n sticker in! your doing it all wrong! :lol: :lol:
i would have more i just dont fancy dirving through halfords as thetford is a rough old place full of people with planet moving cars!

Not a limited slip, more like an auto unlocker. There are no gears in the middle of a detriot, just a couple of toothed clutches, which are normally engadged unless one wheel wants to over run (like when turning a corner). They are designed so that only one clutch can disengaged at time. This link has a good picture of the internals
