That one appears to have a rear diff lock switch on the dash and the description mentions diff locks plural so it probably has the locker to go with the switch.
Hi Jon and Jim (and anyone else),
Thanks for writing back - I can't believe how helpful this Forum is and I'm amazed that as my total ignorance slowly gets out no-one has yet ejected me!
I got the impression that some of those 70 series only have diff locks for the rear - is that right? Wouldn't it be best to have front and rear? (I am assuming that diff locks are the things which lock your wheels together so they turn in sync rather than spin. Is that right)?
Sorry Jon, what does "it probably has the locker to go with the switch mean"? Does it mean it has diff locks otherwise what would be the point of the switch on the dashboard, yes?
Also, how can I tell whether it has front and back or only back?
Just to let you know - although I think you saw my posts in the Intro section - I am torn between paying £7k for a Colorado and £2k for the 70 series.

If I get the Colorado I get fuel efficiency and very comfortable motoring but have no money left to "upgrade" e.g roof tent. However, if I get the 70 series I feel like less of a LC fraud and get to spend some money on cool upgrades. What to do?
If you were to get the 70 series and had another £3-4k to spend what would you do to upgrade it?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for all your time.
