Yes. It's a rather nice surprise, isn't it? The original invoice for my car said to was a $500 option. |

I've found the rear tends to lock first, but I know I've got both.

I am sure I have read somewhere that the software on the screen always displays the lock icon over the rear diff even if the lock is not present - you see the unlocked icon, but never the locked. The only reliable way to tell if you have the lock is to get under the car and see if the electronic motor is attached to the rear diff |

I had both showing locked on Sunday when towing the caravan up a long snow covered road when leaving a caravan site.

Even if it doesn't lock the tc system will use the brakes to sort it out well enough

No one needs a locking rear diff, but it does make drifting sideways at speed in a car park more fun in the snow ...

Im not thinking i would get stuck, but would just be interesting to find out if it had one.

I can drift the rear of mine in the wet without the rear locking diff and not on rubbish tyres either... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
