Hi,

there will very soon be many more options of limited slip and locking diffs available soon, one of these we will be stocking is the 'Kaiser locker' which we have been testing in our 90 for the last few weeks,

this is far better than the Detroit, much smoother operation with no clunking and banging like the Detroit does,

We have also had big reliability problems with the Detroit and this coupled with very poor customer service caused us to stop selling them a couple of years ago,

The Kaiser uses 'ramp and roller' one way clutches as opposed to the Detroit 'dog clutches', we are hoping the Kaiser will be much more reliable long term,

We expect the first batch early in the new year, having driven both I would suggest waiting for the Kaiser, price will be about ? 445 UKP

Hey Dave,
We've been testing the kaiser for 8 months now in a 90 and I will agree that it is much better than a detriot...
