ActiTour Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi, guys Any ideas what positions the 2007-2008 6 gear Puma engine 110 drive shift has? Does it have diff locks? If so, does it have all diff locks (rear, front, middle)? If no - can those be installed? Also, there are auto/self locking difflocs for the Russian cars - any info if those can be installed on 110? Also, i have come across rims which are equipped with difflocks themselves. Unfortunately, i lost the site. has anyone heard about those?

western Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 only a difflock in centre transfer box diff as per any other 90/110/defender, LR don't fit axle difflocks. you can fit axle difflocks as you see fit, a few examples below http://www.kamdiffs.com/products-2/kam-difflock http://www.kamdiffs.com/products-2/limited-slip-diff/ http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 rim difflocks. i assume you mean free wheeling hubs, as there is no way you could ever lock a diff in a wheel. as a diff is in an axle casing. but some poeple call them wheel diff locks for some reason. is this what you meant? linky. there are a few different looking ones there. they dont actually lock a differential, they just lock/unlock the wheel hub from the halfshaft.

Unless he means the ancient Jack McNamara Series ones that locked/unlocked with a nut on the end of the axle shaft ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 i remember those things now. where one shaft slid into a collar inside the diff when you locked them. i couldnt imagine that being too strong. especially hub end though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't really know... I was buying self locking difflocks for my UAZ online and i just came across those on a site, but didn't pay attantion... and now i can't find where it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActiTour Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 And what is better to fit the self locking or those which you lock with the button ellectronically? Which one is more trustworthy and doesn't malfunction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would suggest the ones you lock rather than automatic , The auto ones all have negative points . They are something that you should know when you need to lock . If you have to lock rear and front then you cannot steer , but if you are going forward and then lock rear and still get stuck usually you can get out by locking front as well and going in reverse .

JMHO Thanks, man Do you know where can i buy the diff locks with all the wires, buttons, and the rest of needed parts? And where do they install it, or if there is a manual on how i can install it myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ashcroft Transmissions sell all you could need . Building yourself is possible but personally I would leave to an expert . My diffs were both built by Nige and Steve (MegaquirtV8 Ltd) and they are brilliant EDIT: and another vote for switchable lockers. I try something without and if I need them I can then lock it. Especially if I'm on my own the lockers can get me out where as an auto locking one would get you further into the splendid before getting stuck.

The ones you suggest are operated by air pressure... What would you say about the electrically operated ones? I have also come across "KAM" brand - http://www.kamdiffs.com/products-2/kam-difflock/... Any idea? Actually i'll post this as a separate topic - may be interesting to more people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 KAM are good, but the service from what I've heard is rubbish!! Personally, I'd go air lockers, more specifically Ashcroft locker, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 ive also heard nothing but good about these ashcroft lockers. they seem to outdo ARB ones in price build quality and service from what ive heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey964 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've had Ashcroft lockers fitted for over a year now.I have to say they are brilliant. Lock or unlock in a second with the push of a button.I've used them hard,without any issues. Ashcroft service is second to none,so no wories when they do break. I had mine built into the diff's by Ascrofts and shipped to me ready built up.Fitting was no big problem. Another plus for air lockers is you get a compressor,useful for pumping tyres up,etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
