94 Disco 1 200tdi, Just going to work and I suddenly had no gears or handbrake. **** scenario when you brake down on a steep icey hill. Tried to drive it earler today, still no handbrake, but can get gears if the diff locks engaged. The clutch is working ok, nothing outwardly appears broken. Is this going to be time for a new transfer box? or is there a cheap fix? Answers on a post card to..........

Assuming the transfer box has to be replaced, can it be easily split from the main gearbox (to reduce handling weight), or do I have to remove the complete gearbox assemby?

Thanks to Jai, turned out to be a broken d'side half shaft, much cheaper and easier to repair than replacing the transfer box.

did you strip the old shaft and debris out ok?
Im guessing it broke at the diff end if so I hope it hasnt caused any damage to the crown wheel and pinion before you drained the oil and debris
