Hi all,
we've just bought a second hand 110 Defender, we love it, but I've a question about the transfer box selector. As I understand it to engage diff-lock you push the lever over to the left, to run without diff lock you push the lever back over to the right (well sort of centrally). The high and low ratios are fore and aft, with neutral between the two.
When I select no diff lock I push the lever to the right, but after a few seconds it sort of springs back a bit, ever so slightly leaning to the left. No noise (or should I write no additional noise!) eminates from either the gear or transfer box, and it runs fine, but I was wondering if the lever should stay on the right, and if I'm not tempting fate that it will try and engage diff-lock whilst driving at high speed (and damaging the transfer box in the process). Any advice/comments. Thanks.

Mick

Thanks discopaul, I hope so too. Though judging from some of the postings, it could take some time. (the 'Gas conversion' posting took six months for the first, and then a further 3 months for the next). I see that one user recommends a german 4x4 web forum. I might visit it as I speak german (fluent spoken german and swiss german, though written german poor).
