Ordinary consumer distance orders normally allow cancellation until 14 calendar days after delivery, followed by 14 days to send goods back. Necessary inspection and opening ordinary packaging do not by themselves remove this right. No fixed restocking fee applies to statutory consumer cancellation. Whole-order cancellation includes standard outbound delivery. Faulty-goods rights are additional.
Special sourcing, import or manufacture of a standard catalogue product does not by itself remove cancellation rights. Ask for postal/courier return instructions; no customer visits or in-person returns. See our Sales Terms and optional cancellation form. Earlier purchases retain applicable earlier promises.

Frequently asked questions
How do I confirm that RD163 fits my vehicle?

Does this Air Locker require a compressor?
Yes. Use a compatible onboard air supply. A compressor is purchased separately.
Can I fit it to the front or rear axle?
Use it in the axle position specified for your differential and vehicle. Engage a front locker only off highway.
How do I check the gear ratio?
Check the axle tag or verify the crown-wheel and pinion tooth counts. Confirm the carrier break with your installer.
Do I need a specialist installer?
Differential fitting requires the correct tools, bearing preload and backlash settings. Use a differential or axle specialist.
What information should I send if I am unsure?
Send your vehicle year, axle position, axle identification, spline count and ratio. Include whether the axle is original or has been swapped.
