Try resetting the inertia cut off switch on bulkhead, press the rubber part to reset. Worth a try.

Is it stuck in low range. Try moving in and out of low range.

I wish that load was on my allotment.

I use it to potter down to my allotment, I may consider sorning over next winter but it will be a tight fit to keep it on my drive next to my XC90.

Auxiliary drive belt snapped on my TD5, then found the belt tensioner seized up, ordered new belt and tensioner, 30 minutes to find a socket to fit the recessed multi point star bolt in tensioner then just 5 minutes to remove and refit new tensioner and belt. Jobs a goodun. It only lasted 20...
