Re: Stuck on diff lock?
Finally.... Finally, I was able to find some time to work on my truck. I took out the center differential assembly and bits like this started to fall out. I think this confirms that the planetary gears and shaft have been damaged. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1795/42117810645_702d0a76ac_c.jpg The ...

Re: Stuck on diff lock?
Nice link to the transmission manual. It should prove helpful. I downloaded a photo I took of the oil pan when I drained the oil from the gearbox. The oil pan was brand new from the store - so this was the first oil to every get dumped in it. The results confirm what I already knew. :( https://farm1...

Re: Stuck on diff lock?
I was finally able to find some time to work on this. I pulled the shifting mechanism and all is good. I am able to peek (barely) inside the shifting area of the centre diff and I can see the shifting collar moves freely back and forth but the front and rear shafts are fixed together (rotate togethe...

Re: Stuck on diff lock?
Yes - plunger moves - light goes on an off. I think it is inside the centre-diff. What I really need is a few days off where I can catch up on household chores and make dedicated time to take a crack at this with some wrenches. I have been on solid business travel for two week. It pays the Land Rove...

Stuck on diff lock?
My center diff lock plungers moves back and forth and the indicator light on the dash turns on and off as it should with the movement of the center diff lock switch. But.... the diff is still locked no matter what. I have jacked the wheels up and confirmed positive lock between the different axles (...

Re: Chassis
I am not sure where the OP is located ... but there is a custom galvy coil spring rolling chassis for sale in Northern Virginia USA. I bought a new galvy chassis from Richards in the UK and had it shipped to me in Virginia. It was a bit of a bother to get it imported. Several of the mounting bracket...

Re: The bottom of the barrel?
They'll end up in the States, attached to a Puma powered Defender with the owner pleading total innocence and ignorance. Several years ago - I would have bet hard earned money that this was indeed the final destination for an item like this. We used to have a good supply of 1973 "Defenders&quo...

Rolling Chassis in Virginia, USA
THIS IS NOT MY LISTING - I found it and am re-posting. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/cto/d/land-rover-109-rolling-coil/6467485627.html The seller says that it is a coil sprung Stage One frame. From the photos - it sort of looks that way. If there are any Stage One owners in the USA that ha...

Re: Perth, WA Stage 1 V8 purchase
Plunger knob in the middle of the seat is the Center Diff Lock (CDL). Pull out to engage and the dash light should come on. It is vacuum operated. Lots of opportunities for dry rotted air lines and air leaks to cause issues here but all simple to fix. The smaller up and down lever is the transfer ca...

Re: Stage 1 value?
Too few exist in the USA to have a reliable set of compatible / market prices.
Too much variance in condition to give a narrow price band.
Estimates would be between $5K to $20K depending on condition. A real special / high quality sample might go for $30K+ (glossy paint / galvy frame / 5 door)

Re: New owner of RHP175R
Can we scan and share the latest article for those of us without access to UK magazines?
This sounds like a cool story to keep up with.
