All good now guys, copious penetrating oil, and a hefty dink, and got a spanner onto the key and moved it. It was the transfer case hi/lo selector shaft as suspected and it was seized up solid (all the way forward in lo). Now soaking over night...

I have an issue that may involve removing the nose cone on a 300 tdi auto from a disco 1 (transplanted into a Defender 90). In my case the hi/lo selector is jammed solid. Is it possible to remove nose cone in situ by jusy dropping the front...

So. Lovely Sunday morning on the tools. Hi/Lo shaft (the keyed shaft where the shift lever fits in) inside the transfer case is just jammed solid (see pic). I have taken off the seat box to get access, next move I am guessing is to take the...

Decided to remove the housing with the linkage attached - its free. Looks like its the shaft inside the TC that is frozen. Will fire some WD40 in and then try to manhandle to free it up.⅔

Will be trying some brute force then breaking out axle stands. Linkage on the side of the box is solid and just wont move Thanks! Will report back.

I dont know the selector's position on the box, quite common to be stuck, get some leverage and use brute force eventually lift both axles on stands, let it idle in drive as to have some motion in the box and try then while it's slight movement...

Right. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth later. The hi-lo selector on the TC is all the way to the rear, and wont budge. If it is all the way to rear does that mean it is stuck in Lo? If stuck - is a modicum of persuasion in order?

So I have fitted a 300tdi engine and autobox from a Disco 1 into a Defender 90 for she who must be obeyed. The problem is it feels like it is in low ratio when on drive. Have checked transfer case hi/lo and pulled it all the way forward (hi lo...

With a Defender, you have two choices, drop the tank, or cut an access hole. Personally, I'd drop the tank, fit an oem pump, replace the fuel pipes with oem. You cant go wrong.

Right - same problem in my 110 TD5. Had my fuel pump replaced (allegedly) and had a fuel eruption, and of course found the pump hadn't been replaced after cutting a hole in rear floor. What the chap had done was just cut and butted the fuel...
