diff lock problem

If you have it in difflock, and 1 wheel on each axle is slipping / spinning, then your difflock is working fine.
The difflock only locks up the transfer box, sending drive to both axles equally, now the diffs in the axles are not locked, so if 1 wheel on 1 axle slips, the other axle is still being driven so you continue to move, but if 1 wheel on BOTH axles slip................you're stuck!
You'll often hear about "cross-axled" when off-roading, this happens when crossing a ditch or similar at an angle, 1 front wheel & 1 back wheel loose drive because they're near enough off the ground, then you stop.

If you want all 4 wheels to turn no matter what, then you also need lockers in both axle diffs.

Try a higher gear instead of 1st, try 2nd or even 3rd.

gafferjim yours is the only response on this thread that actually shows any understanding of lr diff locks,

bromsgrove.. your spouting bollocks again presumably for the 4th time this week... 3rd defo was i cant remember the other two,

op... from your description theres nothing wrong with your difflock.... peeps seem to think the lr diff lock locks all three diffs.... it only does the centre one to ensure drive to both axles

This is the fourth time this week

The best way to check if it is indeed in Diff Lock would be to park up on a flat surface, chock the wheels, take yr handbrake off and take the car out of gear, lift one wheel off the ground.
If ya can spin tha wheel round yr not in Diff lock, Simples

There is a god after all

ive got a fallopian tube the OP can lend to check if the diff lock is working.

seriously though. OP do what nearly everybody on here advises you to do. when i checked mine on mi old disco i jacked up each wheel in turn. with difflock NOT engaged the wheel spins freely, with Difflock engaged the wheel should not spin. I did every wheel in turn one at a time. this would also show up a broken half shaft
