Sorry don't quite understand what you believe is the problem? Did the vehicle move, when you were on this gravel or did you just sit there wheels spinning?
It is only having drive to the front wheels if I try to drive up a hill with wet grass on it I get so far and then both front wheels spin and the back wheels don't do anything its like not having the rear prop on. How do I find out what is wrong??? Not sure on how to test things as I have not had a 4x4 before

If it only spins fronts up and if the diff is connected to the prop and thats turning then I'd be looking at halfshaft possibly
or a diff fault?

Diff is rather unlikely to fail without majorly grinding though this is obviously assuming that the spider gears have broken free somehow and are rattling about
Although would it be possible for the propshaft to strip its splines thus letting it look like its turning but not ? that way there'd be no crunching so not too obvious
only one way to find out, half shafts out and diff off
