Diff lock doesn't seem to be working...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ralph:
You will probably find it is going into difflock and the bulb is shot or maybe even the sensor for it.
To tell for sure if it is locking, engage difflock then try turning in a circle on full steering lock either way and you should feel and or hear it scuffing the tyres if on tarmac.
Believe you will notice a difference, do a circle without difflock then try with it on.

narked:
Surely a single spinning wheel indicates diff lock isn't engaging?

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
No, as difflock is the centre diff - it means that drive will be equally applied to both axles.  Unless you have lockers in the axles, one wheel can spin on each.

If this wasn't the case, there'd be no market for locking diffs

narked:
But the rear wheels should still be giving me drive if one of the front wheels is spinning, which they weren't, hence me thinking the diff lock isn't engaging.

extreme90:
if just the 1 wheel on its own was spinning then it isnt in difflock  :roll:  :roll:
if it was in difflock it would transmit 50% of the drive down the the rear axle and one if not both of the rear wheels would be spinning aswel,
so if just the one is spinning then it isnt in difflock as all the drive is being sent to the spinning wheel

try have a rear difflock engaged and then try do a circle  :shock: ...its none existant

is the lever stiff or slack ?
