Excellent discussion, learnt a lot from you. Also read this afterwards which reinforces your statements: outsideonline.com/2096381/4wd-vs-awd-whats-difference The braking trick is also detailed and explain how it redistributes traction over all wheels. It all makes sense now!

Thanks @flat , I'll go for GKN again then. Checked the price direct through LR: 366€ the shaft + 326€ the pivot. Crazy! Ordering now with CV joint servicing kits and new bearings for both sides, l'll try to do this right. Got a pull meter on Amazon also so I can fine tune the CV joint preload.

Greetings gentlemen, I've been digging internet for parts over the weekend, can't believe the price difference for the shaft between Britpart, GKN (which was what I got) or genuine. Rougly Britpart: 30€, GKN 115€, Terrafirma about 200€, Genuine over 365€... I see that I can get a brand new GKN...

Hi @tottot I found a few splits of metal some about 10mm, pretty neat and sharp, like machined, but not much. I caught the ones I could with a long flat screwdriver, used a flashlight within the axle, looked clean, but you can never be so certain. All those nasty bits could have well luckily...

That's it! I'm pretty sure it's the same the other side. I hope the diff is fine. Check the heat the metal went through before snaping in shear!

Morning, Thank you @Cavey_P38 for the extra details, looking forward to dismantle the whole lot and understand what bloody happened? To answer you question, the grinding feels pretty near side.

Ordered the socket, should be there early next week. Will go deeper, till the diff I bet... Will keep you posted. Thank you everybody for responsiveness and spot on help. Cheers

Just went to my local shop. They do good kit. 152€ the socket. Aouch. Going for internet...

Hello, this is a big nut what size is it? I can rotate the shaft by hand and feel how crancky it is behind it...

Prop shaft does not rotate. The whole lot has got no feel.

Today's status. Just had 30min to spare. Lifted RH front wheel, no traction either. Fine at the back. The whole front axle got no power... Couldn't check the flange yet so easily; got to take my wheels out because of their design, but I take the problem is in the front diff itself.

Thank you so much for the suggestions @tottot. Your diagnostic could make sense. I will check the right flange tomorrow and check the RH side front wheel as well. Will let you know.

Just bolted in back, didn't know the torque; so really went for it, refilled, as it was near to empty o_O. Still no luck with the Unlocked mode, and obviously the scary part are the front wheels absolutely free (still haven't checked right front wheel though, but assuming the same). Something's...

Yes, didn't touch the bolts yet. Three other wheels on the ground, diff lock engaged.

Lifted it up, not good news I'm afraid. Vehicle on the ground. LH side front wheel: Lifted up: There was no catch back on play at all; no wind up effect I'm afraid. The scary part is that the wheel is completely free with a gear engaged, haven't checked the other side yet. I haven't...

@Rougharse Racing : I haven't tried yet. Will give it a go and let you know. @tottot: Yes indeed, this is what I'm saying. Oh yeah, there is no neutral? Well, it's in a no man's land position then...

Happy New Year everybody at Landy Zone ! We got an issue with our diff lock on our 110, most of our trips happen on tarmac at standard speed, so we use unlock High, which suddenly disengaged at high speed on the motorway. Now we can only shift into Locked L or H. We tried reversing and...

This was exactly this!!! Thank you so much! Don't know why it was stuck, but finally got away by reversing. Worked on the 3rd attempt.

This sounds like this is it. Thanks for the advice. Will check it out this week and let you know. Cheers

Actually, I can still change from Low to High and High to Low, the differential isn't stuck, just the light which stays on.
