    need to be a bit wary if compressor has a thermal cut out switch,
    under bonnet temps will render it useless untill it cools down,

    Good point John. I have the ARB difflock compressor mounted on the chassis rail on passenger side, however it gets a bit of airflow from the location adjacent to the mechanical fan. The under hood temps can get pretty high especially with the Chev. I have not had any issues to date with mine, and suspect the setpoint will be pretty high to cope with the duty cycle these units are designed for.

    Hopefully this helps for anyone else out there as the manual found within is outdated on the new supply of goodies boxed.
    Shows the solenoid manifold mounted and air locking line running straight through.

    Troubleshooting have found the new solenoid with extra flow through port should be locker 90 degree plumbed to number #2 I had missed in the dark!

    Make sure your final plumbing looks something more right angles now working and similar to this pictured.

    The sneaking suspicion of an old manual supplied in box for me was that all instructions talk of 5mm air line descriptions.
    In fact supplied now is all 6mm line and fittings too which is great as can be bought anywhere unlike old ARB systems, some I’m still running in the ute with 5mm ARB sky blue only usable lines.
    A great 6mm improvement Sir Tony Brown, just need to get the office to update them papers for nuffy’s like me please :-)
