Thanks that puts my mind at rest. Having a read of the user manual it says you can use a heavier weight gear oil which I've done and its made it almost silent. Probably won't be perfect for the bearings but for the 3000 miles I do a year in it perfect for me. Hope this helps some of you.

What type of oil did you use? I used the standard type oil in mine and it works fine but if I can make it slightly quieter that would be great.

Having problems with my lock rite - I reversed on the drive and heard a bang. Taking it apart I saw that the 4 location pins had sheared. :ohmy: After ordering new pins and fitting these and testing the lock rite its still not working. :( Wondered if anyone has had any problems or can make suggestions on how I can solve the problem. It is on an '06 Jimny. Cheers.

I stripped my rear diff down again and found the pins had sheared again - see pictures...

After this I tried to contact through phone and email tech support but had no reply. As you can see from the rest of the pictures it is not worn and I'm stumped as to why this is happening.

This is how the pins and springs were inserted and the only pin which has survived.

Is it just an expensive paperweight?! Any help would be fantastic.
