i didnt plan on a front but after i put the rear in i soon killed the front. how workable are your dealers regarding warranty work, because they will use the arb as an excuse to get out of any tranmission problems.
Lastly did you have the rd138, or the rd128 with the spacer?? |

I have RD57 in the back (110"). Similar to RD138 which is a newer disign (one piece instead of two). RD56 for the front or RD128 (or back of a 90"). I think RD56 had plastic bit which did not last very long. Puma 110" SW

They fitted the RD138
My dealer is very good and knows the problems i had with my old one regarding rear diffs And they won`t want to upset me or i will go somewhere else next year when i change |

I was fed up with the weak rear diff so decided to do something about it. Im going to Morocco for christmas and new years eve and 2 weeks later doing the Croisier Blanche and didn`t want my rear diff letting me down, and also the rear locker will be really usefull on the Croisier
I didn`t want to relie on the violent traction control kicking in and out trying its hardest to destroy the diff and half shafts 
At least with it locked up i can take it slow and steady |

New one coming out?
 What's this?
Was also going to ask - did you uprate your half shafts at the same time? One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |
