Sorry - just edited my origional post - I don't think the pre-05 model had a locking centre anyway, so that may be perfectly normal - I read somewhyere that they were TORSEN with something like 35/65 being the max split.

Been doing a bit of research and think if I'd have give it more revs the fronts would of started spinning once the traction control kicked in, does this sound right or a load of crap? I soppose I won't know until I get it on a ramp or find somewhere slippy to get them all spinning

More gas or more time for the traction control to figure out what it needed to do are possibilities I suppose....

What should have happened is that the centre diff should have locked and the rear wheels been brakes but from experience to invoke these tc ecu actions the wheels need to be spinning at a decent speed. Light/slow spinning doesn't do it and it will happily let them do it for ages. It should feel like abs pulsing and clicking as the diffs are being locked on and off.

It may sound like something is breaking but its just clamping in and out. Its very strange at first but you get used to it. The ecu is stupid in this respect as it doesn't like to lock the diffs or very long at all and there is no manual way to do it Sad FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
