Thanks for all the relpy's. I ve just been outside and had another look. when I put it in 1st and bring the clutch up the is loud cluncking noise, doesnt matter if in diff lock or high range. both propshafts are moving when the clutch is engaged and the car is stationary in first gear, in diff...

yesterday I pulled the rear half shafts out, but they both seem fine, they are not snapped and the splines aren't rounded off. so I take it, its the rear diff thats fecked, right? to swap the diff, does the axle need to come off the car?

I just had another look at it and it is also leaking oil from the osr hub. would that suggest the offside front and rear drive shafts have snapped, they knackered the half shaft oil seal and therefore it is leaking now, have I got this right? also I am looking at replacement ones, do I need 24...

Its funny cause its true!!!! :(

thanks for the advice, I will check all the wheels first to see which half shafts are broken. also there is oil leaking from the osf half shaft, could that have something to do with it? and the one on the other side looks pretty new:

the tyres are 35x12.50r15

I ve got a friend coming around this afternoon who is a mechanic to have a look at it. So what would I need to do to fix? just change the broken half shafts in each axle or is there more to it? Sorry about all the questions, I suppose I should have done my research before I went out and bought...

I ll give him a ring later when im at home but I doubt he ll do anything about it because he got me to sign a contract saying "SOLD AS SEEN".

No the handbreak didn't work when I bought it. the lever only goes up by about 1 cm.

its the on that looks like a "H" on its side

here is a pic of it: does anybody know of a 4x4 specialist around oxford where i could take it to have it repaired as I haven't got the time right now to look at it myself.

so what do I have to do now to fix it? do i have to get 2 new diffs now? any other parts required to fix this?

true, I have no idea what diff lock is and when or how to use it, I am a total newbie to all of this and it looks like i have to learn the hard way.

well, i dont know if it was actually out of diff lock, how can u tell? I put the little gearstick back to the position (rear right) it was in before when i drove it back for 80 miles. so what actually happend then if the diff was still locked, are both diffs fecked now?

Well, I did take it for as spin in the uni carpark with a friend about 3 hours before it happend, I did put it in diff lock (front left position on the small g/lever) and we went up some little dirt hills and got a bit of lean on. but then I took it out of diff lock and put it back to 2 wheel...

the bottom left light on the dash was on since I bought it and i drove all the way home with it and it was fine.

I was caning it like a minute before I lost drive but not actually when it went.

yes both propshafts are turning. what does that mean?

Thanks for a ll the reply guys. I just got it towed back home by my mates scooby (it nearly died on a hill) Im not sure if the transfer bocx is gone or the half shafts. It is definitely engaging when I put it the little gearstick in high and low ratios but it doesnt move whatsoever, but I can...

No it doesn't. doesn't drive whatever position I put the little gearstick in.
