Evening Wayne
To be very honest I haven't driven another kzte to compare. I tend to compare it to the D4D,but saying that the gearing doesn't allow it to be a fair.

Re: LockRight Front Locker
Evening Mario
The well known lokka you referring to is an auto lokka.The auto lokka in the front diff does take some time to get used to. Manual locking hubs with the lokka is a perfect setup in my opinion.

I would first install a catch can to catch the excess oil fumes going into the intake. Then remove the intercooler and clean it out with petrol, with that high mileage I bet alot of oil has accumulated in the intercooler lying at the bottom.
