What is the score for much later vehicles? 2015 to end of production? I have a 2015 110 and I a ... |

Is it really a problem? The axle is well lubricated, there's no evidence of which I am aware that a bit of one-shot in the diff, or EP90 in the CV, is remotely harmful, and nothing is leaking to the ... |

| Maybe a bit late, and not KO2s or Boosts, but my 110 wears Hankook 265/75R16 RT03s on Tornado alloys which are the same offset, so will give you some idea of where the wheel sits in the arches. Mine r ... |

| Tried them once years ago, they simply didn't work. The tyres would come in and out of balance so you might get a wobble or you might not. |

| Battery drain can be checked with a multimeter. A vehicle with an alarm etc should be only taking about 30 milliamps out of the battery if all is well. If you see a bigger drain, say 0.1-0.5 amps or p ... |

I guess the question now is to go for the ashcroft 4 pin or ATB.
Most here would probably say ATB, but I have some concerns:
- ATB only in front makes weird handling?

I'd park it up and just disconnect the battery but you may need the alarm powered? Not an issue here, don't even have an alarm.

| Never used it, shouldn't need it. If a tapered bung in an oil-filled unit is seizing up then it ain't getting taken out often enough, and if it leaks then there is a fault with it. |
