Ooops. Sorry.
There is a factor of 2 with the offside wheel locked, but you divide,
not multiply. You have to spin the wheel through 2 full rotations to get
the crown wheel assembly inside the diff to make 1 full rotation, which
in turn spins the drive shaft either 3.7 or 4.1 turns, depending on the
axle ratio.
You can find me in the corner...
