Me again :lol:


As it says on the title I can't get diff lock engaged. When I bought the disco I asked the salesman to sort out the siezed linkage and they did. apparently they took it to the main LR dealer who did the work.

Thing is I still haven't beein getting a light on the dash, so today at work I got the jacks out and had both nearside wheels in the air and spinning with the engine running with lever over to the left, so when I started to pull on the handbrake! guess :)  go on guess, yep the back one stopped and the front one just went faster.

So definitley no diff lock!  everything feels fine and sounds nice when moving the lever so it must somthing inside the box itself.

Can anyone suggest any tricks or tip to get it working without having to pull the box out?

If it does have to come out, it 240 mile round trip to get it done under warranty :roll:

thanks in advance :)

plus putting a handbrake on while in gear aint a good idea as its a transmission brake - and could quite easily break a shaft!
