thanks for the replies lads! i stumbled on a new, boxed, detroit today on a shelf that is now mine for a very attractive price.... and its not one of the new batch either!
-
thats why i'm wary about a detroit.....
-
thought about the kam one but with the cutting and diff pan it kinda advertises the fact there's one in there. seen to many lads with arb's faffing about with switches/airlines/fittings and still forgetting to switch them on!! i prefer one that is working without all the messing.

i am going to be in the market for a mechanical rear locker soon and as as ashcrofts have stopped selling detroit lockers for whatever reason i dont know where else to look. i want a true locker not a lsd type if possible and i definately dont want an ARB. so what does the collective recommend?

Ebay winches, anybody has them or used them?
flatback90 replied to jamesvfr's topic in International Forum
i have a primetech one off ebay seems very well made and it pulls well. a few lads over here have them and they all seem to rate them highly enough. mine seems to be standing up well to the abuse i give it. -

i had the exact same symptons a while back and even got an engine lined up. took the advice of a much more knowledgable friend and whipped the head off to find the head gasket had gone between the pushrod tube and the piston which pressurised the crankcase and made it breathe really heavy and sound terrible. 3 weeks later a mates did the same.... -
sorry to hear of your loss the irish end of lr4x4 will keep their eyes peeled. also try gumtree as bits often turn up on there as well as ebay.

200Tdi conversion cooling problem
flatback90 replied to gingerbeemer's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
