    I noticed in the parts bag of my ARB compressor it had a couple of scotch locks in it... lol

    It did not mention in the installation manual though where they were to be used.

    Ffs knew something would go wrong...
    For some reason arb thought that I was taking my diff centre to them so they only allowed 2 hours for the job, then did not tell me until I was there to pick the car up at 5 o'clock... Lucky I have another car to get around in or I would be seriously pissed off

    Not good mate. There are lots of good ARB stores around but they are very rare. One of the reasons I went with TJM for my gear.
    Hope it doesn't effect your hippocket

    Nah definitely not and the owner was good about it, he had no idea and is sorting it out for me. They are a good store, one of the blokes just had a brain fart I think.
