well nxt time your down in the sussex area off roading, id be glad to pop to a pub for a chat and beer.

Well, after reading these excellent posts and how you guys figured out this problem, particularly without setting of a small war (lol), I wish to pick your collective brains on my problem. Hopefully it's only an insignificant one (for my sake, not yours )

I'm not too sure on whether my diff lock is working. I parked on my sloped driveway with a sheet of ice on it and when I "locked" the diff (light came on) I only spun one tire.... I thought all tires would spin or at least move the vehicle.

Seems it has better traction without diff lock engaged. I'll pop it up on the ramps this weekend to spin the tires to test but does this sound normal to anyone here? I don't think it's the sticking shifter but there might be other parts that stick. I may have to pull the top off also it seems.

Thanks
