Thats what I did. Saw off the nib Well done for finding that !!! Iv bought it as i suspect this wont last a year

Ive epoxied the part back together, if that doesnt work il have to think of some ingenious way of reusing the new part

Old part is snapped. I pushed it back together for the pic. I doubt it will take the tension if I glue it. Will need some mega glue (advice ?) Google isnt turning up anything. Re fancy lock yoga. If the wife has one more excuse to kiss this thing goodbye, that will be it Bloody Jap thing

Ok UPDATE Kit is wrong. Will sort of fit but the clip wont go over the barrel end as the part is too fat. And the cog end wont fix to the rod securely PICS (red one is new part) Part number appears to read RH-R30J68 (or perhaps 3 ... its broken at this point) PPO-GF10<2 (OR 6510<2) This...

il report back :/ I smell a fiddly job

This sounds like the issue, it was previously a quite stiff lock http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=17154 ......John L's issue.... (Excuse using another forum !!) ((WTF is a plastic dog ??))

Hi, Happy New Yer! Done all the usual searches, and all lock posts seem to be about the springs going. I have a bit of a different issue. Last night I put the key in to lock it, and felt a strange click, and the barrel no longer engages the lock mechanism. Just freely turns left and right. I...

For anyone elses reference when searching on here. Mine was stuck in Diff lock, even tho the lever appeared to be over to the right. Tried the reversing trick for 200 years and its sorted. Id like to say I wont try that again, but its meant to be good to keep these things moving isnt it ?

Happened again. My advice would be to carry a spare. This happening at night or somewhere remote would be a right pain (although you could drive home with the brake lights permanently on) Only £7
