Hate to bring up yet another difflock story but cant find the answer, even after an extensive search.
I had the usual problem with the linkage being seized up on Defender 110.
I couldnt access from underneath, so after months of putting it off I decided to bite the bullet and removed the tunnel cover. (16 screws and lots of manoeuvring around the handbrake. Also needed to move the fuse box out of the way plus other bits & pieces.
Anyway everything working ok now but my question is this. How many positions are there on the transfer box actuator? If I put a spanner on the top nut and turn it fully clockwise it clicks into position A. (diagram attached) Turn it slowly anti clockwise and it clicks into position B. Turn it fully anti-clockwise it clicks into position C. When I say clicks I mean really positive clicks, not at all vague
Position A, difflock engaged, position B, disengaged. (tested with front wheel jacked up)
I assumed it was either in or out i.e. two positions, havent found an exploded view of the transfer box so not sure whats going on here.
Any answers very much appreciated.
By the way just to give you all a laugh. After the first attempt at the above I was quite proud and chuffed that all worked well, however that was before replacing everything. I tried it again and guess what. Nothing!! I realised that when I had it working correctly I had the top of the housing off to pack it with grease With the top back in place the gear liver was hard up against the casing before the difflock was engaging. Back to square one, removed tunnel casing etc. and readjusted the throw at the bottom of the lever.
At least Im becoming quite good at removing the tunnel cover!
