i've fitted 7 of these, all have been abused and all still work
X-eng High Performance Off-Road Engineering
i'm sure there are plenty of others out there that will also do a good job

dont forget to note the Amp rating on the relay. some of the cheap ones on ebay are only 8amp. i think (but am not sure) that the relay rating in these systems is the amount of amps allowed through the system. ie. an 8 amp wont let in much whilst the 200+ on the Xeng stuff will let through loads.
im sure someone will correct me if i am wrong.

Cheers guys, that x-eng kit looks like the business, certainly sounds good anyway.
Had a bit of a play on some age old dumped earth on the farm today, very good place for practicing. But unfortunately whilst on there and nearly stuck a horrible grinding / clunking noise occured and i lost traction to my front wheels. Had one rear arch way high and just had that wheel spinning, ended up getting towed out by my dad and a tractor - how embarrassing!!! Looks like ive shafted my centre diff unless anyone else has any ideas, drives fine out of locked diff but certainly not transmitting 50/50 power to front and rear when locked???
cheers

Are you sure it's not the otherway round and it drives when locked??
Nah definately fine when driving normally, ill put a pic in with this an you'll see where i was. Rear passenger side wheel had no traction an was just spinning, neither of the fronts were spinning at all - hense thinking that the centre diff was fooked??? Strange?

Having checked centre diff with two road wheels off the ground i beleive its fine. Only other option i can think of with regard to the metal on metal grinding noise, is the front diff and the pinion pushing the crown wheel away and shearing or slipping a couple of teeth??

What the hell has split charging got to do with traction?

****. Could be worse. I could fit split charging systems to all my wheels. Just so you lot know. My Defender runs on 4 X 4 electrical axles. Thank you Mr. Tesla.
