No mate, I'm referring to the VTD trans that you and I both have. We have the same solenoid C valve assemble, it just does a different job. It applies the Limited Slip Clutch, to prevent wheel spin of the front/rear wheels.

If the C solenoid is faulty, it can either not work at all, allowing the rear wheels to spin. Or the valve can stick and will cause the clutch to stay applied, causing the front/rear to bind, just like when the Diff Lock Fuse is inserted.

The fix is as I have stated. Not expensive, don't have to remove the box, just the rear housing, to replace the bits.
