No drive on 90
bigfatsi:
Hi. I've just bought a 90 on impulse on eblag. Seems like a canny motor however the seller says the front diff is knackered. He said that whilst driving he lost all power. A mechanic friend said it was the diff. Apparently the prop shaft is spinning but there is no movement forwards or backwards. Does this make sense? If so could I disconnect the front prop and run it in 2wd to get it home? Quick answers would be appreciated because I'm hoping to pick it up tonight!
Cheers guys.
Simon.

:? I would be more inclined to say that it's stripped the splines on the main shaft?? if you drop the diff lock in that will tell you if it's the front diff it should drive on the rear!! :D

I have a similar prob at the moment with my disco.
Loads of go in engine but no drive. :cry:
On mine its beleved to be the clutch - possibly the thrust bearing.
Theres nothing in either high or low box.
AbyssDJ:
check halfshafts too. our rear offside shaft & hub stripped not long ago which left us with no drive and nasty noises

So it shouldn't be anything too major to sort out?
Would a new front axle do it?
