88 inch of pure pleasure Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Right I need help fast :-/ recently bought a range rover trayback with all the bells and whistles arb's etc,anyhow I removed the rear prop tonight to replace a worn uj not having the correct uj I selected diff lock to reverse it up the unit no movement??? So scrolled underneath to check for warn linkage etc,all perfect! Pulled it into what should be difflock with the spanner still nothing! The linkage and using the spanner to put it into diff all feel as if it should work with the same feeling as the road going disco I have? Which works? Seriously confuzzeled as it drives fine obviously with both props on,any ideas on what to look at next? Cheers paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLineMike Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 check that the difflock light switch isnt screwed too far in as ive had that before & only worked it out after removing the Tbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLineMike Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 the centre diff can fail, but generally ive found when they do, it ends jammed in difflock, as the bits all crunch together, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave88sw Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Have you got a broken front half shaft or anything? Have a friend look underneath (obviously stay well clear of the wheels), when you lift the clutch does the front prop turn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 inch of pure pleasure Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi Dave no broken shaft only the output without the prop will move?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If that's the case, you were right in your first assumption- for whatever reason, the diff is not locking. Try as suggested with the diff lock switch but if not i think you'll either have to strip it or probably easier is to find another box (it's not like they're hard to find lol). If you simply need to move it, apply the handbrake, the drive will then be forced to the front axle, regardless of whether or not the diff is locked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
