Because I have the landy I get to park on the car park out side the office a) because its too steep for anyone else to brave and b) when visitors drop their car off the slope and into the wall of the building I am on hand to pull them back out. But.... recently in order to reverse back up the slope i find i have to rev like hell till it slowly starts to move or just drop it into low box and it comes up just fine. So is the reverse in the high ratio sh***d? Thought that yeller feller would have a comment on that

No is the answer to your question, there is only 1 reverse gear in the gearbox, and if it works fine in one range then the gear itself is ok, the transfer box doesn't care whether it's in forward or reverse.
I would guess that maybe you have an automatic and the torque converter is causing your problem in reverse, more info please.

Not necessarily, could still be something like handbrake, but I would expect noise or vibration etc from that.

Can't immediately think why torque converter would struggle only in reverse to be honest, let me think on it

Try the Stall test from RAVE manual - will test Torque Convertor for you;

The tacho runs off the alternator (terminal W), either you have a bad connection there or you may need a new alternator.
