No disrespect but does he know what and when to use the diff lock or does he think the levers are for two and four wheel drive?

If you or he have moved the vehicle on hard ground where there's no loss of traction with the diff lock on ie parking it up and manoeuvring it around your garden then you've most likely broken something on the front axle.

This might help you to diagnose it, make a brew, have a read and then get your car jack out.

This is the drop in to garden
 
I, personally would check CV joints, because they are probably the most likely thing to go.
But, could you be a bit more specific in the way you describe the movement at the moment in diff lock, any grinding, crunching or general strange sounds from front or rear axle?

Bits like this can fail on their own it's just driving with the diff lock on speed the process up a bit:D As I suggested get the car jacked up and check, it'll only take a few minutes to diagnose
 
Not that i have found. I am completely surrounded by fields, so i occasionally go in there for a bit of fun, but no long drives, which irritates me a bit. What sort of terrain do you encounter with the old 90?

Sorry for high jacking your thread Tessa but there you go:D

Plenty of stuff up in Wales if I fancy a day out, I'm about a hour away from the Peak District or there's a few short ones within a few miles of where I live. Wales is something else though

Loudish squeal that's about it and when reversed back out of garden back wheel wheel spins that it really
 
squealing? hmm. I don't honestly know squealing sounds like brakes to me. To do the clutch you need to remove prop shafts. Were they both put back on correctly? if so, did anyone mess around with the flanges?
 
This sounds like a serious problem because it might be a pinion inside 1 of the 3 diff casings themselves, which in turn would disengage all drive when not in diff lock. Have any modifications been done to the axles or transfer?

As I said jack the front of the vehicle up and check for broken half shafts. The diff lock feeds equal power to the front and rear of the vehicle, if one of the front half shafts or CV joints has gone all the power will go to the breakage in the front axle when the diff lock is not engaged. Is the squeal coming from the engine or from one of the axles?
