Hey!

So, i believe that my Center Dif Lock, or whatever the part/feature is called that limits rotation of the wheels when they are not getting traction, on my '99 D1 is broken. I was told by the guy I bought it from that something like that was broken and that is the term I remember him using. Is there a way that I could go about fixing this? I tried towing my cousin's VW rabbit out of the snow and my front right wheel just kept spinning while the other three wheels "locked up" (they wouldn't spin but also would not actually push the truck forward). It was pretty disappointing to see that my Land Rover couldn't even tow a little Rabbit out of the snow. Any info or tips would be great. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money but I love getting my hands dirty. Thanks

It will explain how to use it.

 

Your front, rear and center diffs are all open affairs which means that the wheel with the least traction gets all the attention. When you "Lock" the transfer case it only means the front and rear axle will turn at the same speed, when "Unlocked" it's a 45/55 torque split with most of the power going to the rear axle. A mechanical locker, an air actuated locker or a limited slip diff is what it takes to make both wheels turn regardless of traction. No slip. Believe me, if the diffs where factory locked you'd not be liking a Rover in the winter..... best to have open diffs (all three) when making 45 mph winding turns on hard pack snow covered roads..... otherwise you and the trees would become one when pulling the front end around with the throttle. I'd suggest locking in 4 lo next time you try pulling a rabbit out of a hat..... with one foot light on the brake to slow any wheel spin. Works like a charm..... been there, done that.
