Wee bit of advice.Cannot engage low box. This has just happened,usually try lowbox about every 6/8 weeks and take run round the village. Can still engage difflock but lever will not go forward. Have sprayed as best i can underneath.
Problem,how do i remove cover round hi lo lever. Have searched,googled,read Haynes.
Is it just brute force? Don,t want to break something i then have to replace.
Have tried pulling from each end,screwdriver under edge. This to allow me access to top of box for lubrication or attack with hammer.
Any suggestions please

As James has said, have you removed the centre console so you can see the top of the box?...
