    Is there a dash light for being in 4wd??

    I've been driving modern cars with work so much I've forgotten if my Disco ('97 Tdi) has a little light that comes on to indicate if I'm in low range or if the centre diff lock is engaged. I'm being lazy because I can't find my owners manual but everything seems to be working when I engage, just can't see a light...

    Yup. My Disco has a light that shows when the center diff is locked. The symbol looks like a birds eye view of the drive train.

    The actuating mechanism can freeze up with lack of use causing the CDL to not activate - you need to test if it is or is not activating.

    Yup!

    Mine did that on my test drive, and owner I bought it from claimed he didn't know about the CDL(a bit of a worry for me) but that he said he'd never used it off road either.

    A couple of drives back and forth moving the lever side to side to lock/unlock it, and eventually it came good, and little light for confirmation.
