    Thank you.

    Thanks for the great reply, and yes, I’m aware of the driving off before the transfer box and or dash light engages.
    Thats not the case here, the transfer selector is disconnected from the box and freely moving. Hopefully it’s just a linkage/bolt failure issue. I’ll get onto this in the next day or so and get back with what I’ve found.

    Thanks again!👍

    Ken you have the D2 twin cable set up. the feel on the knob will be different to your old Puma set up because of the cables (not rods). that said, you have been with the D2 set up for long enough to know its feel. if its freely moving and not offering engagement feedback at the expected engagement point in the range, i'd say the cables are at fault. could be a few things. Cables are disconnected from the shifter under your console. The cable sheath has come away from the bracket so the cable and sheath move as one. Or the connections at the transfer case end. If its both high/low & CDL, i'd take a punt that its the 2 cables at the shifter. that assumes there is no resistance to movement in and out of the selections. if it remains in High and does not pop out, unlikely you have a problem with the detent. I'd be surprised if the selector fork is shot, your transfer hasn't seen a long hard life.

    touch on workingonit's post, the puma box is mechanically identical in its operation to every LT230 before it. Main differences are: speedo pickup is electronic not mechanical cable; different input gear profile. Sergio pointed out that there is a change over in case strength with extra ribbing on later cases but i think that change over was way before the Puma ie came in with the 300 tdi.

    Thanks MLD, you’re right Re the cable selectors on my modified Defender Puma;

    I lay under the vehicle and got my lady to run the selector through its ranges. There is no movement from high to low range (fore-aft) in the cables at the transfer box that I could tell, and only left to right selector movement (and back) at the cable and into the transfer box .

    I could only ID one cable from under the vehicle.

    Certainly, driving off and allowing the transfer box to engage and lamp to illuminate on the dash doesn’t work, so theses no electrical signal or engagement of the transfer box. There is no neutral space to engage, SO, looks like at trip down to Justin.

    Bugger!🥺

    Ken, i'm a little confused. It's hard to tell from pic which way the camera is pointing and what is being photographed. It appears to be the CDL cable by its location. If i understand your description correct, your CDL cable is moving the lever suggesting engagement but your light is not coming on. The light will not come on unless the locking dog is engaged in the box.

    Just so we are all singing from the same page, the first pic is a D2 LT230 with CDL. The bracket adjacent to the front output is the CDL and the bracket on the top and orientated to the rear is the High/Low. Pic 2 shows the H/L bracket and cable arrangement. i assume yours is the same set up. Pic 3 is the Ashcroft D2 CDL shifter. Again i assume LRA used that version and not a D2 shifter with CDL. The difference is the lever arm to the shifter set up but both work in the same way.

    My money is on the cable connection at the shifter under your console. Best of luck with it. Pulling apart your console will be fun. (ps: i'm just about to buy the LRA console for my LS conversion so this is all relevant to me ATM).
