The origianl Kam locker was cable operated so is the OE Suzuki 'parking' locker as fitted to German models.

I actually knew that about the Kam locker. I've never heard of the Parking locker before though. What is that?

With the brake on the tcase the diff still allows one wheel to turn. In Germany the law requires the ebrake to work on both wheels so Suzuki fitted a cable operated locker to the rear axle. I have have seen conflicting reports on whether its suitable for use off-road. I nearly bought one once for the 410 but was warned off. I wish I had got it now, one of the Difflock boys eventually bought it to fit to his LJ.

Cool, learn something new all the time. I can add "stock cable actuated locker" to my list of why the 410 rocks. :P

It's for old rovers - not too much info there but it sounds like a manual hub style engagement - something a little different.
