Electronic Locking Diffs
Is this the normal configuration for the 4x4 info screen regarding the diffs.
I seem to remember on my RR Vogue that a second 'e-diff' was a very costly option.
Not sure if the option is available on the D4 or if that's the standard graphic with the two 'padlocks' over the diffs to show their status.

The e-diff was a cost option on the Discovery and I don't think many had them. I think that may be a standard graphic which shows the open padlock on the rear but I stand to be corrected as I have always specified it on my D4's Cheers Ian

If it only has a centre diff the graphic will only have one padlock, if it's got a rear diff it shows 2 padlocks.

On a D3 ISTR it was low box, rock crawl then drive forward, rear diff should be locked as you pull off. No idea on these new fangled D4 thingies, might be the same though.

I'm sure they have changed it now so no ediff means no padlock, but before it would show bothMike
