For the sake of a bit of juice just jump in your car, drive over, stick the diff lock in and try it, with and without the H brake on.

Whats the worst that can happen? P

Plus, it gives you a chance to see what the spline counts are if you take it to get a new diff

The handbrake was working before though. Would diff going break the handbrake or does it sound like transfer box?

Click to expand...

hand brake operates on the output flange of t/box prop is directly bolted to so it cant be working if prop can be turned,putting it in diff lock or g/box in gear should if things are ok stop prop turning (though it will turn a little due to backlash but only a small part of a turn

So if it doesn't spin when either in gear or in diff lock, it's likely to be fooked diff, half shafts and handbrake at worst?
