[turning difficulty, dif lock maybe?]

Right quick update, I'm wondering whether I should start a new thread as this is starting to wander.

But anyway.

I have had a look again tonight, after getting back from work.

The lever on transfer box that puts the difflock on wont go all the way across towards the box now. I think this is the difflock off position?

It will click into position which I think is for difflock on, (away from the gearbox) then it will click into a central position but when I try and put it right over against the gearbox it will only go so far before clicking back into the central "rest" position.

Will try and jack up a wheel to see if it is actually putting the diff lock on or not.

Tried it in high and low and was the same in both.

Whatever the transfer box is in, L,N or H always rumbles in gear but no drive. Just thinking out loud it wouldn't be clutch though would it? I reckon it's new box time.

Could be completely unrelated to the difflock being engaged I guess, just happened to happen after I noticed the difflock issue.

Hope so.

Thanks

It looks like maybe not all ok at all. Just heading home, bit of a bang and the gearbox jumped out of first, as I pulled forward. Then no gears at all. A slight grind as you push the gearstick into gear but a spinning grind if that makes sense. Clutch pedal feels fine but nothing happening drivewise. Any ideas anyone? I'm guessing new gearbox time.

Hope so.

Bit of a thing with the difflock lever. Took it all apart after finding the difflock was on.

The vertical lever is not attached at the top, the pivot also seems to be missing entirely.

So I've been driving with it on since getting it last month, but how long was the previous owner driving it with it on?

Is anything likely to have been damaged?

I've replaced oil in diff, will change the gearbox and transfer box oil today too.

The difflock light is definitely not working, but the dash is a whole separate issue I need to look at again. I have a constant glowing charging light that gets brighter when the lights are on so there is more draw on the battery. Yet the battery charges fine, there's a good charge coming off the alternator. Really want to sort the difflock out first though as it strikes me it could get expensive if not cured quickly.

Will have a play this weekend I think.

Thanks for the reply, and the welcome.

Hi all

New to the forum, and new to land rover ownership,( have driven them before with work though).

Bought a 110 hicap a month or so ago. it's an 88 with a 200tdi conversion. It has a few minor issues, which I am working my way through slowly.

But I am a bit concerned about my transmission, and would like to hear any advice. Gearchange is sometimes better than others but generally not brilliant. I intend to drop the oil out and refresh this weekend, but I also seem to have a bit of a thing where, when I turn it feels like the brakes are coming on. Quite hard too. Particularly bad or more noticable maybe when towing. Is this likely to be anything to do with the dif lock?

Also the dif lock, hi - lo lever doesn't feel like its doing anything and feels further over than it has on others I've driven. Any ideas what may be causing this binding feeling when cornering?

Many thanks

Had the pleasure of stumbling across Christian autos today. Needed a new exhaust, first job on my first land rover. Pete gave me an awesome price, rounded down the total. Had a bracket I was convinced would be a main dealer only part. After paying I realised I hadn't got some bolts I needed and as I didn't have the cash on me, Pete told me not to worry we could sort it out if I went back again. I will definitely go back again and recommend them to everyone I can. Incredible good service and knowledge. Very very impressed.
