I really need to know now!

I also have the same screen, padlock with one diff. But what I have discovered Is that it has 3 stages of locking. Following a conversation with land rover, they say if the padlock is open and green then all diffs are open. Put it into rock crawl and you will see the padlock turn orange with 1 out of the 3 segments of the padlock illustrated. As more diffs begin to lock more segments turn orange.

I tested this. With wheels straight, low range and rock crawl selected I get 2 sections illuminated and an orange padlock. This means my cente and rear diff are locked. When I turn full lock right or left it unlocks the rear and keeps the centre locked, so I see 1 segment illuminated out of a possible 3.

I wonder if it was ever possible to have 3 locking diffs on a FF Question

Locking Rear Diff std on which models

Hi

I appreciate thi is an old thread however I am still non the wiser here

1) Is the locking rear diff just an option for all models?
2) Does the autobiography V8 diesel and V8 petrol have these as standard ?
3) Or ?

Any light you can shed as I want to buy one in my next L405 and it will help a lot if I don’t have to search for this as an option

Kind Regards
Michael

My 2013 4.4 SDV8 AB had a rear locker, but my current car (2014 5.5 SC) doesn't ... Confused Regards,

I tried to discover the same information while looking for an L405. I think the real answer is "there is no single answer". Whether it's not available, an option, or standard, seems to vary by trim level, engine, age and market.
I never found an easy way to determine if the car has a rear locker.

I would say the only way to confirm is to climb underneath and check for the engaging motor on top of the rear diff.

I may be wrong but if you look at the build sheet for a prospective car, then it is shown (well it is on mine).
