SteveG Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 as per the title, what does it cost to fit an ARB rear locker. Just locker not pipes, compressor etc Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydiesel Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 If it's in the car about 4ish hours, so about the £120 mark diff on it's own about half above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 To fit the locker to the diff in a 300tdi axle I bought from Frog and fitted by Frog Island £100 Labour + axle + locker From memory I bought both front and rear from them I can't remember if that was each or the pair I think it was each I then fitted the axle to the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWhite Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 For anyone doing it themselves - make sure the female threads for the crownwheel bolts are SPOTLESS and free from any traces of oil, and use a really good loctite. You don't want the bolts working loose inside the diff - ask me how I know....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 mmm cost $100 here thats about $35 at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 mmm cost $100 here thats about $35 at the moment ARB quote A$310 for a Rover diff and A$420 for a sals. $100 is less than 2 hours labour, or less than 1 hour in some dealerships/garages. That's bloody cheap, Ali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
