depends on what needs doing mate, i work at the St Peters store in sydney.

If its something basic its roughly 80 bucks plus parts per locker. Whats it doing exactly? have u done the basics like check air lines for kinks, if there not engaging properly? Replaced the diff oil with the correct rated stuff? Incorrect oil causes dramas! Check the exhaust ports if the air is not leaving. If its leaking oil through the air lines, it needs the new style oval rings, thats free of charge if they were installed by ARB and are within 2 years of being installed.

Thats a few of the latest dramas that we have repaired.

could be either man.

pop open yoru diff breather and if you can feel air coming out its in yoru locker, if not its probably the line or a fitting

it could also be the solenoid leaking on the compressor.
