pry bar yowch!!
how are you trying to engage and disengage the difd lock? not trying to teach you to suck eggs but you may not be doing it correctley
ok can you get it on ramps? get a good light and look down the side (right side on a mk1) you should see the linkages and spray them with wd40 you may be able to get the upper ones to, weare goggles you dont want oil or crud in your eyes
link that may help see the linkages and where they go: www.discovery2.co.uk / Disco 1 CDL into a Disco 2
that should help free the linkages if not you may need to go in from the top of the transmission tunnel, that involves removeing center consul and drilling out rivets
hope this helps you

Cheers guys. Need to do it before the MOT as I dont want the muppets fu*king up the diff on the brake rollers
Put car in "N" keep foot on footbrake and push lever forward. (car jammed in high-range)
Can't put a disco on brake rollers unless it's a 4wheel roller rig. Or it's one of these noo fangled roller test beds. but they cost mega buck and aren't usually found in ya average MOT station.

That's not difflock that's Lo-Hi range Diff lock is engaged by pushing the lever to the left

i took my tranny tunnel off mine as the linkage fell off and found the box bit where the stick gose in was full of a dry muddy gunk, think it used to be grease, cleaned out what i could and put some grease in it and moved it around for a while, i found it opperates a hell of a lot better now.

OOOPS
My lack of knowledge shines through
So its only jammed in high-range??
have yu tried pushing the small gear lever all the way over to the left? if so did the difflock light come on? If not try this first and then report back. For Clarification Difflock works in both LO & Hi range,

:lol: in most cases difflock knows its left from its right :doh:
They won't touch the transfer box lever in the MoT, there's no need to. My local MoT place has 2 test centres, a main garage and a satellite place (as in, a couple of miles away, they don't MoT satellites...). The new gaff has all new equipment including the latest emissions machine, etc and its brake roller has a 4WD facility, so I assume the newer ones come with it or the price difference has closed up???

Thats the only way mate. Take it all off & the boot etc. & you'll see a transverse steel pin that the lever forks onto. This is whats most likely siezed. You have to have patience & a lot of WD40 & spray grease & work it side to side & back & forth.You'll know when its free.
