Consider getting an ARB locker from continental europe. Much cheaper than buying from UK. Of course shipping is a bit more expensive. But you should be able to save around £150

Almost.
It is locked when torque is applied to the rear axle, as in gear and clutch is engaged. Meaning that roundabouts and sharp corners needs to be taken with clutch depressed.

Errr really? I don't think that is right. Not for an arb? Or anything else for that matter?

Of course it doesn't apply to the arb locker. But it does to the lockright.
