Installing a HD locking rear diff - Someone did it...
Hi folks,
Some weeks back, I came across a thread where someone actually tackled the replacement of their standard rear diff with the locking (HD package) version
Idiot that I am I didn't save that thread and for the life of me, now I can't find it.
By any chance, does anyone recall seeing that thread?
Thanks.
Karl.

Someone in Norway did it and posted?“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Hi Mick,
Well done
You specifically say "I never posted about it on here", by chance did you post a write up elsewhere?

The 'Someone in Norway' was 'Fogga' - I had loads of PMs from him last August, whilst I was down in the Falkland Islands.
I think the Topic you were originally looking for was this one.

If someone needs the info about the connectors, this is how I did make the cable loom instead of looking at the scrappers.

SweNic - very interesting!
It seems 'easy' enough to find an e-diff to install, but because of the rarity of original factory ediff fitemtn, finding donor cars to salvage the loom from would be difficult - I suspect.
My diff (non-locker) is making some noises, if I'm going to replace it anyway it might as well be an e-diff. With Spooky's provision of the wiring diagrams and you've found the connectors, all I would need to do is 'join-the-connectors'!
Cheers.

There is a write up in a back issue of Discovery Owners club magazine , but it is about 10 years ago.
I have read and reread Spookys guide and I now have all the bits apart from the diff oil to do this change on my D4 with 8 speed auto. There are some subtle differences due to the wiring harness and the ratio of the diff.
I'll provide details when it's done.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8
