Thanks Scott! I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the reason for vehicle moving is the drive shaft is disconnected. I'll post my finding next weekend when I have the new transfer case installed.

If the transfer case is shot it may be the cause. When the transmission locks in park then it should not allow the transfercase to move either since on the P38 we do not have a seperate TC lever. If it will not hold when the transmission is locked in park then it will move since the driveshafts will spin especially if you do not have a driveshaft in. The only way it should not move be for the e brake ot beon since it locks on the back of the TC and not on a wheel.

I purchased a 2000 4.6 from a private party a month ago knowing that the transfer case was shot. I took the vehicle in to get state inspected and the inspector told me that the rear differential was bad because it would not stay put while in park. I told him that the drive shaft was out of the transfer case and that was the problem. Because of his lack of experience with Land Rovers I ignored his advise. Today I parked the vehicle in the office parking lot and the vehicle does in fact roll backwards while in park. Is this an issue because the drive shaft is not in the transfer case because it is shot or do you think I have a bad rear differential? I hope that I do not have to replace both the transfer case and rear differential.
