gords:
Oh yes, also


--- Quote from: "gords" ---I just put it into diff-lock and 1st gear and jacked up each wheel individually - both rear wheels rotated, but the front wheel (only tried one) didn't (as expected?!).
--- End quote ---

That's rotated by hand - not with the engine running :wink:

Wanderer:
I'd be inclined to stick the wheels back on as long as you've removed the rear propshaft off the handbrake drum.

Then select diff lock and see if the car will move. If it won't move the problem is on the front.

If it moves then it's definately on the rear end.

Thrasher:
ok,

When you turn the flange, does the crown wheel go around, or does it just make clonk clonk noises????

gords:
In diff-lock (rear propshaft removed) the car drives.

Turning the flange causes the crown wheel (the biggest one?) to go round. With the flange held, I can still turn the 4 interlocked cogs in the middle (where the half shafts go). I assume that's not right?!

muddyweb:
Well... we know it is the diff then, if the prop was turning and you went nowhere.

So.. we need to get a new diff centre sorted.
