Don't dream of this, since rear Electronic Differential Lock is exactly
what it means: an electronic software that pseudo-locks the rear diff
via the ABS pump by braking the wheel that spins. There is no physical
locking device. And I won't start on the Torsen central diff, which is
an limited slip differential.
That's the price of progress :-(
