Normal road driving will be high ratio. The transfer box won't be in neutral. If it was the car would not go. Being in neutral in the transfer box will have the same effect as being in neutral in the main gearbox. If it's stuck you'll have to crawl under with with shares in wd40 and grease!!
Ahh. Its showing the small gear stick is in the neutral position not in high. Then just driving using the normal gear stick. So it should be in h? Doing a road trip to wales this wk is it ok in h even up big hills?

Sometimes you have to feather it in gear with the clutch for it to go in low not all the time but every now and then I do so if its not been used in low for a long time it could just be slightly stiff, if not do as other's have said go underneath with some WD40

If the stick is stuck and not moving and you have never owned or used a Land Rover before then it will be difficult you you to know what it's saying.
Once you un seize it you will then see that it is if fact high - You would know if you were in low!! 5th in low would be the same as 1st in high (Roughly!!!!)
Get under it and un seize it!!!

It won't be showing N on the small stick. It's movement is much less than a regular gearstick. There is a very remote chance it isn't connected or something. Most likely it's fine.

if you push the stick to the left it should engage diff lock that is separate from hi/lo so can be done at whatever position the lever is forward or back

Moving to the left (whether in Lo Hi or Neutral) should be engaging the diff lock - NOT for normal road driving at all, it will do damage to the drive shafts etc, and be a pig to handle. Hi range and NO diff lock (i.e. keep stick to the right) for normal use. If it moves 'quite freely' left and right I'd be wondering about the linkage being intact, but that another question - play safe for now and don't use diff lock on hard surfaces.
Get some loose surface in a friend's field and try out Lo range (you'll soon see why you wouldn't normally use it on the road), and diff lock which can reduce chance of some wheel spin, but needs loose surface to allow for lack of differential rotation between axles while cornering etc. Enjoy, A
Yeah. Its not got tonns of power but seems ok. It will happly sit at 65mph but slows right down goin up hill. Carnt tell now wether its in H/L lol. Cheers
Just bin and had a play. You might be right about the linkage i can get it to go in H/L and diff but in all those positions the stick still moves around even tho its clunked into position. Pretty confident its in H at the mo so i'll pop it in the garage and get them to have a look. Thanks for your time.
If you can do 65 then you are in high

If you can do 65 then you are in a luxury model.
