Iv just driven about 20 miles with both diff locks on, should I be worried
Not if it was in a straight line or on soft ground
Hi mate it was on main road I forgot to turn off after leaving site
No corners for 20 miles?
Won’t do your tyres any good and puts stress through the system but should be okay.
no flashing light on the dash telling you they were on
Nope nothing on dash. I informed mechanic and he said he will sort the warning lights out. I didn’t do any shape turns which he said isn’t as bad

Guess they don’t cover switching diff lock on and off in the dcpc then

Yeah but when the diff lock switch is almost behind you its easy to forget when your arse is twitching at the thought of being stuck in mud.

You’d have a pretty good idea somethings not right when you get it on the road just by sound/feel.
Well that’s what mechanic said, but it honestly felt no different. It was only when I got in to quarry and I turned my head to apply handbrake and get flask while I was waiting to be loaded I saw the locks on.
Maybe your diff locks don’t actually work
That’s a fair point I will get mechanic to check them.
I used to drive a foden alpha , that had a buzzer as well as warning light for the diff locks Quite annoying at the time but saved you forgetting to disengage diff locks
I have come to drive a tipper and the diff lock switch was already on , god knows how long the previous driver had driven round with then in
