muddyweb:
It's possible Gords, but I would think you would hear a rattling when you tried to drive.

Range Rover Blues:
I'm watching with interest.

gords:
At the time, and a few times since, I have switched from normal to diff lock.

When it first happened, I put the handbrake on and felt that it was stopping the propshaft. When I got it home, I got the wife to put it in gear and accelerate (gently!) while I watched underneath and I could see the axle end of the propshaft going round.

The bolts holding the half shafts to the wheel end (!?) were all there and tight.

I 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 - is this as expected?

 :shock: ooh, haven't I mentioned that? It did make a clanky kind of noise - kind of like metal banging together. A bit hard to describe, but there was definitely noise associated with trying to drive!

With the handbrake on, yes... with one front wheel off the ground and one on it, and the input locked (via the diff lock and handbrake) then the raised one shouldn't turn.

The fact that the rear did points again to a failure in the diff.
