Heard and read about it.
They say it is a myth.
If not, anyone would use them.
Kind regards,

There have been several discussions on the matter on the difflock
forum (www.difflock.com) in the Land Rover department, and I'm sure in
others too. Mosey on over and check it out.

Have had a couple fitted in various ways on a carbed 3.5 RR. Still
running tests but the initial results indicated significantly better
emission figures. You must be aware that this was with no form of
emission feedback or control (oxygen sensor etc).
However this result may not turn out better mpg figures for various
reasons. It'll be a month or so before I finalise results then I'll post
them here.
Personally speaking, and from my limited experience, I'd suggest 20%
economy would only be down to having a terrible problem before they were
fitted and correcting it afterwards!

But looking at the previous post - emissions were down which would suggest
better burning of the available fuel.

If you get significant interest in your bridge I've got another one here
in Auckland that's available for the right price too!

When I got my sets free for review, I specified that what I said was
going to be the whole truth, good or bad, and not subjective. This was

confidence in his product.
Anybody who has equipment supplied and fitted then writes such a

When I read it I thought it rather smacked of a reviewer getting good
revenue from an advertiser. Rather than risk finding out it's a load
of bollocks (which all common sense would suggest) and having to
report such, they decided that they would describe in detail how to
remove a jubilee clip and stuff a piece of metal in a pipe, then say
something pointless and generic like 'it definitely felt more
torquey'.
I've always been certain that my cars have been smoother, faster and
generally 'better' after any kind of service. If you came and took a
few hundred quid off me for inserting the gizzards of an Amazonian
cockerel into my glovebox I'm sure I'd notice a big improvement in
acceleration and 'torqueyness'. The only other option would be to
admit I was a total tit who'd been had.

I once read a magazine article about a man who got a lift to work with a
friend because his local BMW garage were picking up his car to service it.
When he got home his car was clean, polished and waiting in his driveway.
The man nipped into his house got the keys and drove off with his friend.
The man commented on how much smoother and more responsive it felt after
the service, as it always did. When he returned home there was a message on
his answerphone from the BMW garage apologising for not being able to fit
his car in for a service, but they valeted it anyway and would he like to
arrange an alternative appointment!!!!!!
I don't trust people when they say that a small alteration produces
noticable effects on torque/power/noise etc. I, like most people like to see
article/reports backed up with hard facts and figures to support them.

You _can_ use an Argentinian pigeon, but they tend to give a more
peaky power delivery and a slightly lumpy tickover. OK for race use,
but for normal road use I'd suggest paying the extra for an Amazonian
cockerel. YMMV.
The cubby box is ideal - the glovebox is obviously off-centre and thus
a slight 'torque steer' effect is inevitable.
Halfords stock cheap imitation cockerels made out of aluminium alloy.
They are actually heavier than normal cockerels, although they do emit
a slight blue glow to make you look like a nobhead.

Not at all, Tim, a tit is a totally different bird to an Amazonian cockerel.
Besides, it is well known that sellers of Amazonian cokerel gizzards have been
ripping off the unsuspecting public for years.
I can assure you that the Australian emu gizzards are far more potent - after
all, the emu is much bigger. I can supply said emu gizzards for far less than
you paid for a lowly Amazonian cockerel gizzard..
Please send your bank account details and I'll arrange shipment.
