ok so went offroading sunday....waded alot of water.... breathers probs ent the best in the world...

came to drive it yesterday -2degrees and it started fine went into gear fine but as soon as you went to lift the clutch to bite it stalled....like its stuck solid! could this be water in the transfer box or gearbox or something? i only say transfer box becuase while inspecting everything i went to pop it out of high range and it was stuck where it was and solid!

you should check oil in all units after deep wading ,extended breathers dont make them water tight ,seals are designed to keep oil in not water out though in good nick they may , gearbox bell housing isnt sealed either unless you remove it and silicone contact face

More than likely handbrake, it's not uncommon. Try to get it in low range and crack it off. Or get a blow torch on the drum for a couple of minutes ;-)
