Solenoid kit for electrically actuated drop-in differential lockers, forming part of the locker engagement circuit inside the differential assembly.

When energised the solenoids move the locking mechanism into engagement, coupling the differential side gears so both halfshafts are driven at the same speed; once de-energised the differential returns to normal open operation.

Supplied as a service replacement for worn or failed solenoids in an already installed locker unit.

Frequently asked questions

What does the KAM456 solenoid kit do on a diff locker?
This solenoid kit powers the locking mechanism inside a drop-in differential locker. When energised, the solenoids engage the diff, coupling the side gears so both halfshafts drive at the same speed; de-energised, the diff returns to normal open operation. It's a service replacement for the solenoids in an already-fitted locker, not a full differential.
Why do diff lock solenoids fail on these differentials?
Diff lock solenoids typically fail from repeated heat cycling, water ingress into the differential housing, or worn internal contacts after years of engagement cycles. Signs include the locker failing to engage, engaging intermittently, or a dash warning light. Replacing the solenoid kit restores engagement without needing to replace the whole locker unit.
How do I know if the KAM456 kit fits my vehicle's diff locker?
This solenoid kit fits drop-in locking differentials on the Land Rover Discovery 1, Discovery 2 (1999-2004), Range Rover Classic (up to 1994), and Range Rover P38 (1994-2001). Locker types differ between these platforms, so confirm your differential variant via VIN or by inspecting the fitted locker before ordering.
