If you engage difflock, do you have drive too?

Yeah, sounds like youve broken a propshaft, diff, halfshaft or CV.

If some one looks underneath (CAREFULLY!), while the foot brake is applied and looks at the two propshafts, while trying to drive, you'll be able to see if the problem is front, or rear. One shaft is probably turning, but not driving anything.

If it moves with handbrake on, surely it’s a rear shaft
