Lost All Drive......help!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi all. purchased my first land rover last october, had no problems with it untill now. As i was driving a thought that it had jumped out of gear but i had lost all drive. With engine off you can put it in gear, but as soon as you start the engine and take the clutch out i get a whining noise. tried all gears in high and low with OD in and out. (in 4th gear the drive shaft attempts to move (it twitches)) Has the the gearbox completely gone of is there something else i can try. Had a look at the transfer box all seems ok.

Hello crowy, I dont want to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like the layshaft in the gearbox has given out.
This happened to me just before Christmas with just the same symptoms, nothing in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or reverse yet 4th made a pathetic attempt to drive. The whining noise in mine sounded like a lathe in action. It was actually a bush breaking up.
I got a recon box from Paddocks and I'm gonna be back on the road next weekend.
If I can help you any more I will
