You may have a vacumn operated diff lock, is it a 4 speed manual gearbox?
The diff lock switch is a little round knob, pull up to engage diff lock.
BigSi:
It's a LT77 five speed manual gearbox. The only lever is the one to switch from High, to Low. Not sure what transfer box it has?
AbyssDJ:
are you sure the transfer lever doesnt move left and right too?

It will almost certainly be an LT230 T/box. The Transfer box lever should move to the left in all positions H-N-L to select difflock. Try selecting reverse gear & gently rock the vhicleon the clutch whilst trying to engage/disengage difflock. Be quiet forceful pushing the lever to the left, the same applies when disengaging the difflock.
Range Rover Blues:
One fairly easy way to check what you have and if it's working is to jack up one wheel then try to undo the wheelnuts. If it spins freely chances are it's a LT230 and you should have a difflock control on the short stick. If the wheel will not turn then the centre diff is locked, either stuck in difflock or the Vicous coupling. If this is the case then lean on the wheelnut wrench and see if it move very slowly under your weight. If it does then you have a vicoous coupling that is working fine, go inside for a cup of tea.
If the weel is locked up tight then you need to establish what's wrong. That means getting underneath.
Correct me if I'm wrong but does the LT230 have any access panels in the casing that are visible from underneath? the Borg-Warner does not, it splits front and back, the case is ribbed and the bottom face is curved slightly IIRC.
