There's a LOT of chinesium lockers that have come on the market recently, greeted with sufficient scepticism, and from what I hear, mostly borne out.

@Hybrid_From_Hell I'm sure posted that he'd opened at least one HF locker to find swarf . I wouldn't trust one as door stop.

Is this the same one that Terrafirma used to sell?  (I can't see it on their website now).

[Bowie69]

I think you could be right.

The electric actuator is interesting but I would struggle to trust the rest of it.

Similar to the old KAM drop in E-locker. But like all the ali express and HF stuff, just a cheap knock off.

Anyone else like the Warning/Disclaimer section on this.... mentioning lock picking  stuff like that just shows the quality or lack of IMO.

IF it is the same one that Terrafirma used to sell I remember Nige building one for a chap in New Zealand and being fairly impressed with it (nice big cross pin and minimal run out on the crownwheel flange).

It's the same type as one they either sell or used to sell from when they bought out KAM diffs. But there's no way I'd trust one coming from aliexpress or anywhere else with the HF branding. Even more so when they're got so expensive.

That blew itself apart and no spares available 

 

had another last only a few sessions …entire diff in skip as it took out the crown wheel too 

 

we will not build the terrafirma e lockers now if asked 

 

my advice is don’t waste your money

Big, chunky parts are useless if they’re made of cheese, and anything Chinese or Indian will be.  Nige’s response clears up any doubt.

The rear axle in my hilux has an electric locker, which I find very good. I have a vague memory of toyota axle internals fitting in LR axles with minor work. I don't think the hilux axle has changed much in millennia and as the base spec versions are the only one fitted with an E-locker, they tend to end up as breakers more often

Yup, swarf, and on a certain branded e-locker sold in the uk, one gear had 3 x shims behind it to take up slack 

There is a reason these are so cheap - and it's not that they are a bargain. Try getting spares ....

 

Just buy a ashlocker ffs best locker for a Lasnd rover money can buy.
