damsel needs your help asap

i have got disco h reg 2.5 diesel bought it a week ago was out today went to put it in 1st funny noise and nothing happened couldnt get any gears someone said it was gearbox someone else said it was the fork help me

Is there any resistance on your clutch pedal If there int then it does sound like the clutch arm pivot has worn through the arm. Do the gears grate if you try forcing the lever?

thers no resistance it goes in 2 gears fine and feels like selector is trying to select but nothing happens theres a slight grinding noise?

Does sound like it's the clutch department then. Have you checked the fluid level in the master cylinder?

yeah all that is ok its stumped me god damm ebay shouldve known

if you turn the engine off, put it into gear, then try starting it, does it bolt forward?

if yella's idea doesnt give you any luck, try putting it into diff lock to see if it wants to move?

This might seem daft but the transfer box hasn't popped into neutral has it? It can look like it's in gear but might not be properly in.

sorry but its no to all of those replies antmore ideas

So you can select gears with a slight crunching noise but haven't got any drive and the clutch lever seems a bit light?

whereabouts in thye country are you .... someone may be local to you.

Unusual, but get someone undeneath to make sure the clutch release lever is not jammed in.

If it is, the slave cylinder may be stuck, and it's cheap and cheerful to sort that.

I still favour the transfer box in neutral explanation ...

clutch seems ok just got no drive at att when it happened it just wouldnt go into gear it just stayed in neutral

joy thanks for all your help the spline in the transfer box is no more that is what the problem was hopes this helps any other members who may have same problems. Does anyone know if the transfer boxes in the 2.5 diesel discoverys are the same as the one in the v8 and in the range rover of the same age

Yes. I believe discos always had the same transfer box.

The defender transfer box has the same gear ratios in low box, but the high range gears are lower than in a disco. Some people use these when fitting larger tyres.

Not sure about the range rover tho. What age is your car? I know at some point the range rover had a chain in the transfer box, i think its the P38

mine is a h reg 2.5 diesel. the transfer box i can get is from a range rover b reg v8 auto

No you dont want that. Its completely different. This centre diff lock works off a vacuum switch, even if you could patch it in there you have nowhere to get a vacuum feed from.

Yes, but its for the brakes.

I wouldnt attach my brake vacuum pump to an old range rover diff lock diaphragm.
