Hello All in the forum, maybe someone can shine some light on this?

Having had all sorts of landies over the years , I just bought a E reg white N/A diesel SWB defender. The Hi/Lo transfer lever would not go into the Lo selection, Ok in Hi and would shift to neutral ok then stop. On inspection there was a what looked like a factory fitted blanking plate in front of the transfer gear lever to prevent the shift into low ratio !! The Lever selection plate on the bulkhead showed the usual gear positions .
Now for the strange bit........ the lever will now shift into the LO position , but it is still in a high range!1 So you have Hi in Hi position ok in neutral and Hi in the Lo position . The lever feels like it is moving the shafts ok ?
Can anyone shine some light on tis please ,,,, cheers Mark
 
i have seen a few 90s and 110s (not dependers) fitted with a plate that prevents the selection of low range - everything else is fitted as normal but because low range hadnt been used for probably the best part of 20 years it usually took a few doses of release agent to be able to actually get the selector to move once the plate had been removed

from what i remember a couple of them were ex PO vehicles
 
Thanks Sean , being white in colour may be a clue? so you think it will eventually decide to shift? I will be pleased as I had a few quid knocked off for no LO ratio :)
 
ther were only branded defender after a lot of 90s & 110s were sent to the MOd early 90's then to the county / defender into production but the 90 and 110 come in on a b plate, correct me if im rong ( again)
 
They became Defenders when the Tdi was first fitted (amongst other things) about 1990.
However the term is now used, by Land Rover, for any coil sprung Land Rover.

so we should now be referring to the disco as a disco depender ? - or have i missed the point here ?
