Hi,
first of all this is a 1991 H reg 200tdi defender.
well i have just decided to look at my difflock light switch, found a broken wire!! (fixed now it works)
only problem is...
when in normal drive the light stays on!!!!
when i move the lever to lock position, the light goes out. then after a little while comes on (suggesting that it is working ok!!) but when movedback to normal position the light stays on!
this happens no matter what i do
I decided to look at this because of an offroad event i was trying to get out of a hole up a hill etc.
With difflock on i was still only getting 1 rear wheel spinning! but you could see one of the front wheels attempting to turn but not doing so...
How do i check if difflock is working?
is it because it might be low on oil? (just guessing) if so where do i check it? and what oil is best for the gearbox and diff (is the gearbox oil seperate to the transfer box oil)
What gearbox/transfer box is it?
any help would be very much appreciated
steve
