after some looking into things looks like i am unable to actually go into diff lock it does select the postion on the selector but no light on dash comes on to tell you , you are in diff lock , this must mean its seized out of diff lock ?

Although i am a virgin LR owner so i could be totally wrong

anyone know if this can be sorted easily or is it a major part and hrs of labour ?
im thinking a LR specialist would be best , anyone know of one nr bristol / Bath areas pls
