    Diff lock again....

    Thats the only way mate. Take it all off & the boot etc. & you'll see a transverse steel pin that the lever forks onto. This is whats most likely siezed. You have to have patience & a lot of WD40 & spray grease & work it side to side & back & forth.You'll know when its free.

    anyone running their disco on biodiesel?

    Thats the problem I found, where to get the used oil. Most of the chippy's etc round here have a deal with their suppliers to buy back the waste.

    I take it you dont like them then?! I must say most, but not all, of the Aussies i've met like Land Cruisers, mainly for reliability.

    driving technique

    Yes, apologize to the guy for my comment above. Its easy to critisize i suppose when you cant see the full facts, & have no probs driving anywhere myself.

    egr removal

    I did mine a while ago now & I've forgotten what it was like before! Also got a straight through minus the stupid cat! When I was an apprentice ,one of the men told me you could loosen any nut & bolt bt tapping on the flats in the direction of undoing, so anticlockwise.
