2000 Discover 2 CDL...educate me please
This is a 2000 US-Spec Discovery 2 LHD that is all factory.
Front drive shaft got noisy, removed the drive shaft and attempted to lock the CDL to drive until new shaft arrives. I had tried this a few ways and couldn't get it to lock/sync up. Here is what I have experienced so far.
Position 1: CDL nipple turned to the drivers position when car started and in gear. (What I understand the be the standard open center diff)

- With e-brake on front flange spins
- With breaker bar attached to front flange "locking it" car will move back and forth
- With e-brake on front flange spins
- With breaker bar attached to front flange "locking it" car will move back and forth
- With e-brake on front flange spins
- With breaker bar attached to front flange "locking it" car will move back and forth
Questions:
- What are the actual 3 positions?
- Why do I get identical behavior across the three positions?
- What should I be trying/doing?
- What am I missing?

Then there is the nipple for the diff lock
It sounds like it's not actual switching position. In neutral the tcase should free spin not allowing the vehicle to move even if you lock the front or rear shaft/flange.

@stereophile33 it does not. They are independent.
So you have Hi Neutral Low on one side
Open /Locked on the other
If you can get at the CDL nipple, I will have check, but I believe to rear is open to front is locked.
Transmission in neutral engine running to change - hi/low locked/unlocked
