diff lock

i cannot select difflock possibly due to lack of use. which is the best way to free it off and the correct way to engage and disengage it

remove consol and drill out pop rivets of rubber gaiter ,the remove smaller gaiter on lever /lubricate and work ,if it needs adjusting lingage going down the side of box needs removing and eyebolt screwing in /out to get it to go in and out of diff lock ,watch you dont loose plastic bushes out of eyebolt,difflock selector in box is sprung loaded so lever needs to go further than amount needed to select ,jack one front wheel up to check its working

Seems quite a common problem.

Have a read through this, there are heaps more guides found on google.

Fixing a Land Rover Discovery Stuck Differential Lock or Transfer Case | Land Rovers

the main difference is ive actually done it a good few times

thanks very much for the info, probably needs a good clean and lube.lever does not even attempt to move over.

i have movement left to right on stick but only moving the splined collor out. should the actual main pin you attach linkage to move in and out? ( the bit they say to put gips on and move on how to guide on here?
i can get mine to work.
Thanks
