not familiar with erosion but very familiar with oxidation (rust),i presume that's what you meant.i really did expect to be able to move it,there is very little rust on the vehicle,the chassis appears to be spot on,i really didn't expect problems.perhaps that was a little naive of me.
 
Sorry to be pedantic but oxidization aint only rust - it is the chemical reaction of the parent metal and oxygen in the surrounding environment - and can happen to most metals, such as iron, copper and Aluminium. Rust is the common name which refers to ferric oxide and should only apply to iron based metals. Erosion/Corrosion affects all materials to a greater or lesser extent, depending on its environment.
Yella was, as usual, perfectly correct in his use of the word erosion, as it would apply to all the metalic parts of the vehicle.
 
take the driver's seat out and the plate under it , depending what landy yer got you might be able to reach it from there but i still say yer best bet would be to take the rear prop orf
 
it wont be just the shoes that are seized, its more than likely the linkage rods to the actuator. like slob says take out the drivers seat, you might be able to get to it from there but you need to release the whole linkage and the actuator as well as the shoes inside the drum. oh and ive just gotta quote daft on this

nope, cos that would only isolate the engine and front axle from the h/brake and yer rear wheels would still be braked via the prop shaft, so yer have to remove the rear prop or if yer can reach the h/brake from under the seats yer might be able to free it orf, but i doubt it
 
Wouldnt think either of those would be much use?

Just a can of WD40 to spray on the prop shaft bolts. Have a cup of tea, then use a spanner (as said above) to loosen. so then your rear prop is off, and you can tow out.
 
I'm with everyone else on this: seized transmission brake.

Personally I wouldn't bother trying to free it if its that tight but would pull the rear prop as others have suggested, get it home, and work on it there.

Take a big sheet of plastic to lay on if you don't want to get muddy, but being a Landrover you're gonna get muddy sometime :)

am sure is glad you decided to join us, now all we need is another 6 folk to post the same answer and we'll be in with a chance to win double money in the next round of 'post the same answer' with your host norman collier
 
I don't know if anyone else has thought of this but it might be that the brake on the transmission has seized. If it has you may have to gently **** the drum with a soft hammer or remove the prop shaft so the vehicle can be moved.
Hope this helps, David.
