Drive shaft problems
 

Vehicle is 2001 Land Rover II SE
Vehicle front 4x4 drive shaft broke at yoke at Transfer case. Problem is Vehicle will not move with rear drive shaft only and do not understand why? Also I can not get transfer lever out of High and do not know why? This project someone has left with me to figure out. I am new to the forum and have a little mechanical ability so be gentle with me when I ask dumb questions.

A center diff. Lock must be installed and engaged to drive with one shaft. You can feel on top of the t case for a cdl nipple, if present you can turn it with a wrench to engage

To change high to low try putting the transmission in neutral first, if you have not tried that

someone will chime in on this but I think your year has the centre diff lock. Just grab a 10mm wrench and feel around on top of the tcase for the nipple. If you've got the diff lock in that year, just turn the 10 mm wrench and you will have enguaged it. this should get you driving. you'll know it's enguaged when you se the amazing little light on the leftside of your dash display.
I belive 99-01 have the diff lock then 02-03 do not, but someone can correct me on that.

99-01.5 had it

In the upper left is the end of the propshaft that broke on yours.
The Center Differential Lock nipple is the round "stud" in the center of the round cover plate that's retained by the 3 bolts.
You want to turn it anti-clockwise (as viewed from above). In only needs to turn about 1/4 turn or so.

More pix of same - and one day if you add the linkage you can have locking CDL and better off road performance. And somewhere I saw a pix of a guy that just glued a socket on to the stub and had an exstension that came out a hole drilled in the console.

I do appreciate everyones help and I will let you know how it turns out in a couple of days. Thank You

One other question? Where to purchase a manual for Land Rover 2001 Discovery II SE?

Look in my signature section for a link to a free copy of the Rave CD.
My also look at my major service list posted at the top of this section. Sounds like you have not been keeping up with your service which is now going to cost you. Did your drive shaft hit, crack your tranny?
