I've got one in mine. Not turned a wheel yet but expecting good things. I'm not expecting fuel economy though. Why would you?

Read your first post wrong. Agreed it won't improve mpg.

Not used only because the xfer box is still on the garage floor. I'm doing a full build and it's only just a rolling chassis.

I've had one in for 7-8 months. It doesn't really change anything with exception of knowing it's stronger! I've been off-road a few times with it in, but I still tend to use diff lock when I think it's required. No point in replying on the ATB when you still have full lock available.

I've not got stuck without diff lock in though, but I didn't before either :p!

Recently though my MOT man chucked it on the rudder rollers! I keep meaning to test it, but makes me nervous chucking on stands to do so reliably! Drove fine though after, but it's just niggling my head and it wont go until I try it even if it doesn't make any bad noises Laughing!
