rear diff on hilux 2000

Dead right - mine's close to useless (ditto our Troopy). I've heard they can be tightened up? My husband's Nissan Patrol's LSD works wonderfully.

Cheers, is there a way i can test it without heading taking bush?, maby i should test it on my hilix i got now

Only too easy. Find a steep dirt hill. Stop and engage first gear With someone watching the rear wheels see if one or both spin when you take off.

If one wheel (only) spins, the LSD is not working properly. Ideally, both should spin equally - or neither should spin at all.

If neither wheels spin, either take off a bit harder - or find a steeper hill.

This is just my woman's way of testing it - but it gives a good idea of whether the LSD is going to be effective when you actually need it.

If you need to do this by yourselve you can get a good idea by going back and look at the tyre marks. If one wheel span it will have made a bit of a rut.
