hamsteberg did yours bang out of gear
not obviously so but drain axles in the next few days or at least drop some to make sure no water in oil,you can isolate fault to front or back by seeing which prop is spinning out of difflock ,front front etc
was that a wind up

Many thanks, particularly to James.
It took 4 hours to get recovered 7 miles. Fecking joke.
I'm off work Thursday so will dust off my tools and set about getting going again.
Had to drive 100yards or so in diff lock from main road to my house as recovery couldn't get any closer. Hopefully no more harm done but rather that than leave it on main road for pikeys to lift away.
high and low are two gears that rotate on center diff each been locked with selector hub which is splined to diff ,diff lock is a collar that slides over front output shaft and diff ,so the only way you could loose drive rear axle but is if center diff gears and broken but that would be same in high/low,ie you would only have drive in difflock ,its more likely that diff lock is just on the edge of selecting lock and would in low but not when lever was twisted back for high,if back half shaft or diff broken it wouldnt work in hi or low
