We've been toying with the idea of publishing our own magazine for a while now. Unfortunately the printing and distribution costs require a substantial financial input and then we'd have to charge you for the mag just to cover distribution costs. So we're doing things a bit differently. To keep it FREE and to ensure the maximum amount of people can get hold of it we're making it available online to either download to read at your leisure or read on screen with our super new digital magazine publising technology.

As you read through this launch issue we're already working on issue 2 which will feature an additional practical workshop section and a product review section.

As with the rest of the Difflock empire we're not restricting ourselves to a specific make or model. All 4x4s will be covered as well as some non-4x4 articles too.

We are also looking into embeding video and animations into the digital version and creating a mini-version ideal for reading on a PDA or mobile phone. The possibilities are endless!

Let us know what you think, we genuinely welcome your comments and suggestions, good or bad. And if there are any specific subjects you'd like to see just let us know.

DOWNLOAD EDITION (18.2mb)
(Download the PDF and read at your leisure, there is no copy protection so you can copy it, share it with anyone you like or print off pages, the more the better! You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5 or above to open it)

DIGITAL EDITION
(This is a neat system that allows you to read digital magazines online. You need to be connected to the internet while reading and a broadband connection is recommended but you can still print pages for reading on the throne and bookmark pages just like any other web page)
