How to tell if difflock is engaged!
Start by attempting to engage the diff lock with the lever. Then jack up one front wheel, just one though. Throw the truck in neutral with something blocking the rear wheel so it doesn't roll off the jack. Try and spin the wheel that is up in the air. It should not spin if the diff lock is engaged.
Have someone sit in the Disco and move the lever while you try and spin the tire.
If the wheel spins when the diff lock is disengaged and doesn't spin when it is engaged then the diff lock works. Test it both ways. You may want to try this with the back too, but if one works the other should.
If you understand how the diff lock works you can see how this tests it. With one wheel on the ground the only way a free will can spin is if the lock is not engaged since on a Disco the lock is basically hooking the axles together for lack of a description. Something to understand is that while the Disco is all wheel drive, unless you have aftermarket lockers on the axels you don't have "4 wheel drive". Without the difflock engaged all the power will go out one wheel if it loses traction. With the diff lock engaged the transfer case is splitting power evenly between the front and rear so you can still get stuck if you lose traction on a front and a rear wheel at the same time.

Ya see the post above this one well it came from another site I didn't write it. can you see the bit where it tells you to chock the rear wheel so it doesn't roll off the jack. Why didn't he just say engage the handbrake? Because it won't stop the vehicle from rolling once the front end comes off the floor.

i think it means 'im ****ed off with my car , its to complicated , so im letting it roll down the road to meet its end and will thus collect the insurance money so i can buy a less complicated car to replace it with'.
and , correct me if im wrong but diff lock will only lock the central diff and not the axle diffs , so if you jack one wheel off the ground in diff lock it will still be able to turn freely.
you wont however be able to turn both wheels in the same direction.
