CV joint problems?? Not sure if it is that or not.

afink your getting confuzzled here bud
you will be getting drive to the front drivers wheel or else you wouldnt be driving on the road out of diff lock

land rovers send power to the wheel of least resistance

so if your cv has completely gone then you wouldnt be able to drive on road without diff lock being selected
difflock will allow you to run on the rear axle as the front axle will be transmitting all the engine power straight down to the broken cv which will just be turning but not driving
you with me so far  :?   :lol:

if you noticed that the front drivers wheel wasnt driving whilst you were offroad in difflock then you might find that the passenger side was spinning due to you running on a std diff...
which will only send power to the wheel of least resistance offroad( mud,sand,snow ect ect)
only if you have locking diffs like me and a few others will you actualy find that you have a true 4wd not in effect a 2wd which in reality all 4x4's without locking diffs are

hope that helps
but i assure you, if your driving on road without diff lock then you are getting drive to that wheel
if its clicking on lock then its a tell tale sign that the cv joint needs replacing
but the other side wont be far off as they usualy go withing miles of each other

extreme90:
what year is the 90 ?

mud-club-matty:
if on full lock and it is clicking it will be cv joints  we had this on our works discovery  was cicking turned out to be the cv joints.

 if something was broken your landrover would not drive out of diff lock as danny says  

hope this helps
