Just set off for a couple hours on some lanes got to morpeth annnd ......... The DISCO stopped!

Felt like it was in nutral. Tried every gear and still nothing!
Stuck the diff lock on and away I went got 5 meters up the road and I got a huuge grinding/crunching noise from the front end.
Front and back prop shafts are moving!!

Is that the dif?

Any help please!!!

Ooh, dont call it a jeep round here

sounds like a diff let go, drive was lost so it stopped moving, difflock regained the drive but to a damaged diff and that made it worse hence the naughty noises.

as the noise came from the front its likely the front diff or maybe one of the knuckle joints in the hubs??
