i have got disco h reg 2.5 diesel bought it a week ago was out today went to put it in 1st funny noise and nothing happened couldnt get any gears someone said it was gearbox someone else said it was the fork help me :confused:
 
Is there any resistance on your clutch pedal If there int then it does sound like the clutch arm pivot has worn through the arm. Do the gears grate if you try forcing the lever?
 
thers no resistance it goes in 2 gears fine and feels like selector is trying to select but nothing happens theres a slight grinding noise?
 
This might seem daft but the transfer box hasn't popped into neutral has it? It can look like it's in gear but might not be properly in.
 
Unusual, but get someone undeneath to make sure the clutch release lever is not jammed in.

If it is, the slave cylinder may be stuck, and it's cheap and cheerful to sort that.

I still favour the transfer box in neutral explanation ...

clutch seems ok just got no drive at att when it happened it just wouldnt go into gear it just stayed in neutral
 
joy thanks for all your help the spline in the transfer box is no more that is what the problem was hopes this helps any other members who may have same problems. Does anyone know if the transfer boxes in the 2.5 diesel discoverys are the same as the one in the v8 and in the range rover of the same age :D
 
Yes. I believe discos always had the same transfer box.

The defender transfer box has the same gear ratios in low box, but the high range gears are lower than in a disco. Some people use these when fitting larger tyres.

Not sure about the range rover tho. What age is your car? I know at some point the range rover had a chain in the transfer box, i think its the P38
 
No you dont want that. Its completely different. This centre diff lock works off a vacuum switch, even if you could patch it in there you have nowhere to get a vacuum feed from.
 
Yes, but its for the brakes.

I wouldnt attach my brake vacuum pump to an old range rover diff lock diaphragm.
