Happened to me too on my second or third drive after I had pulled away, coasted to the side of the road and took a good 2 or 3 minutes of panic to realise what happened :D

Thanks for this! I realised that with both front wheels on the ground in 2wd, the front propshaft should spin by hand when they’re free and shouldn’t spin when they’re locked (had a bit of a panic for a second when I only locked one and it still spun forgetting how a differential works)
I...

So it seems it wasn’t completely stuck thankfully, I’ve oiled it up with some WD40 and hopefully it’ll become looser with more use, is there a way to test that they’re functioning? Wouldn’t want to get stuck down a lane thinking they’re working :D

Hello all!

Had a feeling that might be the case. If I were to go and look at this what else should I watch out for other than taking a hammer to the chassis. It’s a 1990 110 (not defender) with 12 seats. From the pictures it looks like the rear cross member has been replaced, how do I know this has been...

Thanks for replying! I’ve linked the panel in my original post and here’s a pic of the actual damage. I’m fairly certain it’s purely cosmetic but it would be nice to know how easy it would be to rectify in the future

Hi there! I’m looking at purchasing a 110 CSW with a 200TDI swap and the only thing putting me off right now is a crumpled body panel. I’ve found the replacement panel online, how hard would it be to fit this. Would it just be easier to somehow beat the existing panel straight?
