When I try to select diff lock, the level feels as though it is hitting something very solid, like metal.

I'm not the best person to advise on that plate, but the hitting something solid doesn't sound good.  AFAIK the diff lock should drop in even if the dog doesn't line up when you selsct it, it has a spring in the linkage or something, so yours hitting something hard could either be the dog not lining up or some sort of lock-out as I described above.

Closer inspection is called for, get underneath or take the tunnel out perhaps.

Yep it works, both wheels turn when 1 is turned. The light on the dash has never worked even though I have tried changing the bulb so it must be a bad connection on the box.

Good, that's one less problem to contend with :D

My difflock was doing the same. check for a feed at the switch (Blue /black wire). If thats ok try running a wire to earth from the other terminal (Black wire). It was the latter which cured mine!
