It's an option so unlikely, sorry Mike

I have locking rear diff. It was a £500 option factory fitted from new Smile

Has got me out of the sticky stuff a few times. Thumbs Up

You can see it engage when in low ratio and 4x4 info screen is up. When things get slippery the padlock changes colour and locks Thumbs Up  SDV8 vogue SE.

Gone TDV8 RR Sport. Never to be forgotten.

I've also got the locking rear diff. It takes some really getting stuck before it engages. And costs a fortune in carbon mod plus oil , compared to standard front diff oil. Around double the price and over double the capacity.

On the occasions that I've used a LR fitted with the locking rear diff it appeared to activate quite early and well before the thing was stuck. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
