Broken Down any ideas?

Gents,
First time Brucey has ever broken down. I'm in Liskeard in Cornwall.
I've got breakdown cover so just waiting for them. Thought I'd while away the time by asking opinions on what might be wrong.
Driving along and lose gear without warning. Once I pull over I can move the stick into any gear without using the clutch and no drive at all. Diff stick engages correctly no problem but still no drive.
Drive shafts are intact and still in place.
Any guesses?

clutch gone?
Are any props turning when in gear?

Tried low box & diff lock?

Try moving high low ratio linkage, was there a thump or any sound when you lost drive, half shaft may have gone, or spline stripped, as above try diff lock.

Tried all that. I reckon the splines have sheared on the propshaft. Still not been recovered by the way. Now it's fecking raining.

Weird thing is I can put it I to gear with the engine running without using the clutch.
Feels expensive whatever it is!!

Should drive with difflock engaged.

I did some boat recovery on a beach yesterday and used diff lock. Deep sand and a trailer. Don't think I ragged it maybe this caused it?

I'm in Pensilva, but my Landy is off the road at the moment.
I'm working in Downderry next week (Buttlegate).

Has the output sharft on your transfer box given up the ghost, did you notice backlash in the gear change?
