Diff lock thingy

Shift to Neutral, move diff lock lover, put transmission into gear, then back to neutral, push the diff lock lever AGAIN (this time is fully engages) and than back into gear.  Not a big deal, but takes a little extra time.  Is this typical?

I only have to do this to get it into high/low and not to get it into diff-lock!

Got to admit that I do occasionally have to go through the procedure of reversing the Disco back a few yards to disengage the diff-lock due to the diff-lock "winding - up".

Thrasher:
The traction ability of the TD5 using the brakes/abs replaced the difflock. Land Rover brought it back again after 2 years I think, most 2002/2003 vehicles can be retro-fitted as the gubbins is still in the transferbox!

I never have to do that. Just push it acros into diff lock as and when needed and then back out of it again. Most of the time it goes out straight away but sometimes I have slow down slightly or take foot off accelerator to make it come out. Hi- low and low-hi sometimes I get into neutral but then if that happens I either give it a small rev or pop it into drive or reverse and then into Park again and it pops into low or hi. Never a mega issue tbh.

Attention, any Moderators who are reading
Does this one deserve to become a 'sticky'??

Me 2!  Once I had to engage diff lock to get my caravan out of a bog that was supposed to be a camp site.  Drove off the grass, down the windy lane to the campsite exit and remembered diff lock.  Had to reverse car and van back up the windy lane to get it out.  My reversing isnt bad but im not the best either. I wont be doing that again!!
