I thought I might go for the mismatched diffs. I found the below while surfing. it really does sound like the problem I am having. what do you think? The conclusion was mismatched diffs but the Landy owner never got back online to say if this fixed his problem. I am guessing that it worked for...

Cheers Slob! The front prop was still connectedwhen I tested the second time. I leave it till tomorrow then take the front prop off again and do another test like you said. Hi Mistericeman, Thanks for that. A friend how has witnessed the problem first hand also suggested this! How would I...

Thanks Slob! Ok, here is what I have. rear wheel jacked up, g/box and t/box in 'N' Wheel turns with ease, prop to t/box t/box in 2wd prop wheel and prop turn. t/box in 4wd whole prop turns with ease a little (takes up slack) then locks. in gear the...

Pushing pulling locked wheels, they skid then they unlock go round and stick again. it is like a brake is on. Really hard to describe. Funny thing is though, when I engage 4 x 4 with the FWH set to 4 x 2 there is no problem. I know I won,t be using the front axle and still only be in 2 x 2...

I am losing the thread :eek: Ok, Here goes and thank you in advance for any help you can give! I Thought it was FWH/front diff to begin with. Why? I am not sure anymore. After fine advice from Slob I removed the prop from the front diff checked that the diff flange was turnin and checked the...

Thanks percyatok! I believe my first observations have been wrong. I wrongly assumed the probem was with the front axle due to the front wheels locking and blamed the FWH's :) However, it seems the back wheels have been locking also. I thought the back wheels were struggling pushing the front...

Thanks Slob!!! I have not got the original drive plates. I removed the prop from the diff and checked to see if the diff flange was turing etc and it everything with the front axle appears to be good :-( oh dear!!! the problem it looks like I guess is the transfer box/4 x 4 thingy. ****! oh...

Ok, I removed one of the fwh's and all appears to be well but of course I am not a doctor so a second opinion might be required :-) I am not sure if this is normal but here goes. I jacked up the rear end and tried turning the wheels by hand and found that when 4x4 is engaged the back wheel is...

Thanks Slob & Clivees! I ran about 50 miles yesterday in 2 wheel drive with the WFH engaged. A shudder when around 40 mph +. I think it was getting a little better by the time I arived home. I bought some EP90 and filled the diff and everything else that required a drink. I think it might...

Hi All, When engaing 4 wheel drive today on my S3 diesel it kind of seized! Truth is I do not have a clue! I have not had the landy long and I belive this might be the first time that the free wheeling hubs have been turned off for some time! The front wheels do try and turn a little like...
