Transfer box weirdness

I had a bit of a confused moment earlier. When I took the landy out for a test drive I played with all the gears to check they worked ok. Diff lock, low range etc. I've been crawling it up on to some big logs so I can get underneath it more easily and had it in low range to do so. Anyway, to get to the point it ended up in neutral somehow and I left it. When I got in to go out earlier it wouldn't drive (obviously, because the transfer box was in neutral). I shoved it into Hi and pulled off-very slowly! It was in bloody low range! Why is it the wrong way around? I don't get it and it's bugging me. Also, the diff lock light doesn't work. The diff locks and unlocks very smoothly, and anyone who is used to a landy doesn't need a light to tell them the diff is locked. I'd still like the light to work. What's the problem likely to be there? :5bbanghead:

has the gearstick nob spun around 180 degrees?

G

My H and L are back to front as well, dunno why

The nob is the right way around. Layout like this...

D
I - L
F /
F - N
L /
O - H
C
K


I don't get it. Has it been rebuilt the wrong way around or something?

I think its possible to put the ajjuster on the splines up the other way, this would mean it would be inverted controls.

Mine's back to front, dont know if it's on right but that is how it arrived.

your linkage is well weird, not surprised its back to front!

Could do with a pic to compare then I can change it.
Just got a quote off foot/james...455 quid

I dont recognise much of that at all. Is it an older type, or just that its all clean?

ring them up their online service is ****e. Seriously its worth the call.

You can have a look at mine 2moz if u want.

Aint got any pics though, may well take some when i put some proper whatsit pins in my linkages though

bear in mind its also a V8, so the main box will be different woodsy.

Thought they were still LT77s just with different fittings and housings?
