Does my diff lock work?

<< < (2/4) > >>

JumboBeef:
OK, thanks for the info.

I'll try the brute force method first! :D

JumboBeef:
Nope, that didn't work! :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
RE-reading it's history it might be worth checking to make sure it hasn't been dissabled on purpose, the stop numpties trashing the transmission by driving in difflock all day long.

JumboBeef:
Interesting thought, how can I find out?

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

Also, it has this plate attached under the bonnet (see pic).  I thought it was 'special' because it has rear side windows and a properly fitted (with seat belt) seat in the rear, but could this also mean other stuff too?

Engage it (or try to), & leave main gearbox in neutral

If both wheels rotate when you turn one of them, it's locking

If only the hand-rotated wheel turns, it's not


Then investigate further!

Try this site for a few details (it's American, & mainly Discovery related, but the basic premise is the same)

Mmm, never been sure that mine works either Richard so I"ll try that sometime this weekend.
