Check the linkage of the shifter. Check the owners manual for the exact process for your vehicle. The vehicle you purchased may not have been put into low range for a long time, if at all. That may require a mechanic. I hope it helps. gotta love a rover. duboff

you're going to have fun tearing up the center console. and drilling some rivets out. then lubing your linkage.

Thanks for the tips! I opened up the console and took a look and the linkage looks pretty rusted. I'm gonna give some lube a try. Wish me luck.
