I'd start with your rear diff.

hi
make sure the small gear lever is pushed to the right in the transmission (H).

thanks for the replies, yeah ive tried moving the lever in all different positions. no difference. someone said today the diff lock could be stuck. whats the best way to free it off ?

Following on from that is there an orange light on the dash top right?
It could help to show if the Diff locks on.
