I'm still not convinced the infamous brake rings aren't broken. I would personally remove the auto lockers and check the brake rings. You don't need to jack the car up or remove the wheels to do this. There are many threads on this subject so it might be worth having a browse if you haven't already. I got sick of mine keep playing up so I bought manuals and haven't looked back.

Jim T

With manual hubs am I right in thinking that;

1. They can be locked when already in the slippy stuff
2. They can be locked before going into the slippy stuff
3. They must be unlocked when on the hard stuff

If so is there not a danger that you could misjudge when to unlock them and risk transmission wind-up when say you are driving from one greenlane to another on a tarmac road?

I believe that the auto hubs have usually broken the snap rings to prevent transmission wind up whereas manual hubs do not have this protection, therefore is it wise to recommend the more novice 4x4 drivers to fit manual hubs and expose them to this risk?

My point is this, if someone's well maintained snap rings have broken is this not due to the fact that they should have disengaged FWD earlier than they did? If so what is to stop them forgetting to unlock the manual hubs and risk more expensive damage?
