DIfflock???

I have  a green switch located in the trim near the gear sticks,once pressed it illuminates,but without taking the trim out i dont know what it operates,there are no mods/accs yet.
i had a old 'x' reg range rover with exactly the same switch which operated the difflock(or someting to do with 4x4lock).could it be this....many thanks

Or, put it in diff lock, put it out of gear, jack one wheel up on each axle (ie one side of the car).  If the diff lock is working, then as you try to turn one of the wheels in the air by hand, the other will turn too.  If it isn't, the wheel will turn on its own.

Sanity check - can somebody reason this through and see if I've got it right?

ChrisW:
To operate the diff-lock on Discovery's you push the transfer box stick over to the passenger side of the vehicle, nothing as simple as a push button  :evil:
Mind you.... I'm sure Mark could find a switch to do it with, eh Mark!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

muddymart:
i understand this does the diff lock operate in high and low too? as it has like a H gate and can select 4 positions and ive got an unmarked knob so dont know which is which,looking on ebay fora genuine one !!  :shock:

ChrisW:
Yes, top left - low box & diff-lock, top right - low box & unlocked centre diff, bottom left high box & diff-lock, bottom right high box & unlocked (normal road driving)
Diff lock can be engaged at any time, you only need to stop the vehicle when going from high to low box (unless it's an auto)
