Hi, Please can anyone help me resolve what the problem could be when my disco is only driving on the front wheels? Thank you. Andy.

Is the rear prop spinning? Sounds like snapped rear halfshaft or goosed splines on the flange, etc.

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply, the rear prop shaft does not spin.

...not even when it drives forwards? In the centre diff lock engaged or not? Definitely just FWD you have (how have you tested this?)

Hi Paul, when towing off road, up hill, front wheels spin and rear wheels and rear prop shaft stay still!

that is just the transfer box doing its job. it works as a centre differential to allow u to go round corners.

put it in diff lock and u will be sweet

Or user error? Are you engaging it, and is the light lighting up?
