Hey guys, a quick update. I removed the shift boot and saw that the shift is all the way to the right. There is space for it to go to the left, however, I haven't been able to jam it in, nor do I want to. That being said, I haven't been able to mimic since I cycled it through high to low and back to high. I've been driving in circles, the same way I have before when it would bang, and there is no bang. Could it be possible by shifting thru it may have been locked/seized before and it's now released? I mean it's a night and day difference when turning. I'll take it for a spin later and see if it does it in parking lots when parking, that's where it would occur.

Hey guys, so the vehicle was in high (lever all the way down). I was able to get it into neutral easily, and with a little effort, I was able to get it into low. On low I did full steer and drove in circles and so far no issues… not sure if it’s unlocked, I wasn’t able to get the diff lever to go left or right. Any tips? Does it normally sit to the right and take effort to go to the left? It appears the issue happens when the lever is in High pushed to the right.

New owner here, 1995 imported defender 110 with a V8. When turning near full steer at low speeds the vehicle makes a huge bang noise and lunges. I was reading that it could be the diff locked or a bad CV. I’m new to defenders so don’t understand the drivetrain fully, but should be first step to be to make sure it’s in High or unlocked before checking the CV? Sorry for my ignorance, I’m coming from G wagens where you just turn the key and go lol. That being said, I love the defender!
