A bit of thread resurrection - the Scandinavian spec V6 Diesel Pathfinders don't even have the 2WD setting, so we have to drive in Auto all the time. Would have liked to be able to select 2WD for some hooliganism in the snow, but for all other purposes Auto is great :wink:

A bit more research (and a lot of youtube videos) leads me to believe an ARB air locker might just do the trick. For driving in thick snow on the road locking only the rear diff should provide both traction, predictability and still let me stear the car properly. Any experience at higher speeds with...

That's a shame - I have been very impressed with the Quaife diff I installed on my BMW, made it absolutely amazing to drive in the snow. Anyone have any experience with an ARB Airlocker for road use in snowy/icy conditions? Will it mess up all the electronic systems on the R51? There is some form of...

Hi all! I am looking for front and rear Torsen-type (Quaife or similar) differentials for my Pathfinder V6 Diesel. I do a lot of driving on snow and want something that works at high speeds and all conditions, contrary to a full-on locking diff. Any tips? Honestly don't know where to start when tryi...
