In order to run the engine I have to keep the clutch down. It seems to be in neutral and it feels like it might be going Into reverse and possibly a few other gears. I'm not sure it's going down into 2nd and 4th.

Diff also seems to be stuck in neutral.

Presumably, when you lift your foot off the clutch it tries to pull away? Otherwise, you wouldn't be getting load on to the engine to stop it? Which means the centre diff can't be in neutral? Is it stuck in gear with a snapped selector fork?
 
Weirdly it doesn't want to pull away. I done it once and there was a strange noise then the enginene stopped. I didn't want to try it a second time.

Don't take this the wrong way, but has it been parked up for a while :)
Might the handbrake be seized on or brake calipers seized on?
Gearbox could be jammed due to failed component.
Judging by your foot your not from up North, otherwise it would still be milk bottle white. :D

Ha, yeh it's been in the garage for a year whilst I strip back the chassis and treat with buzzweld. Before that it was probably in a ditch in a sheep field judging by the amount of mud I'v removed so far.

It did run and steer on a test in a farmer's field before buying and it rolled into the garage fine.

I'll disconnect the handbrake completely and see if any of the calipers have seized.

You should still be able to get it in to neutral though :(
 
I think the change holder assembly can be accessed without removing the whole thing.
