Default 2003 Land Rover Discovery
Bought an 03 Disco that has sat for 8 years. The front end seems locked up and cant move the thing. Removed the brakes and calipers and still no movement. Any ideas? Thank you!

Is it only the front that's the problem? Could be the front differential, or perhaps the wheel hubs.

Yes only the front end is affected. The rear axle seems to be movable.

Do you have the front end jacked up? If one of the wheels will not turn then you have a bad diff.
