Hi all I hope you can help me

I was driving home and I could here a slight whining noise from the gearbox/transfer box so slowed down, ( noise goes away) I come to a stop. I pull away well try tobut get this loud bang and grinding noise but no motion. Put into low ratio and nothing. Lock the diff and can move but only in low ratio. Put in high ratio just grinding..

got home and checked under neath and front prop shaft spins but no drive ?
new parts i have are :-

Transferbox
propshaft
front half shafts.

My landy is a disco1 200 tdi auto. is there any other parts I may need ?
also which do I replace first

thank you in advance.

did yu try locked high?
if front prop turns but no drive - likely to be prob in front axle - 1/2 shaft or diff.

as mentioned before, half shaft, diff or could be C.V joint, easy to find out, jack up one of the front wheels with the diff lock engaged and in gear then see if you can turn the wheel, you souldn't be able to, if you can its that side thats had it.

sorry taken so long to get back and a big thank you to you all. the old girl had broken both cv joints in the front axle. she is fine now but chassis rotten.

Is that the longest repair ever? Did the chassis rot while sat on the drive waiting to be fixed.
