I must had a few ml of Pajero blood in me from my old car that got stolen.

Maybe I should get a new prescription for my smart pills.

Good thing you know him then! :o

Just make sure he doesn't attempt this again on any LR product as they ALL require 4 wheel rolling roads . (Except series though, as they have FWH's.) Especially the Viscous transfer case models, as you can't disconnect the front shaft and run them in 'Difflock' as there isn't one.

Mate,
Been there done that, apart from the Dyno part, my T case on my 95 made a simiar bang noise on full lock a few years back, ended up in a rebuild as a gear had become many many small parts, the thing is it still drove so don't take the fact it is driving as a safe sign,
two checks to do
a drain the oil check the part numbers on the pieces that come out with it
b lift a front and opposing rear wheel, spin the front wheel if they rear spins as well it's locked and the t-case needs work.

Hey Boxer, your a tool! Why didnt you call me mate, I could have given you a little (read a LITTLE) bit of info about this. Now, ill have to come up to Sydney and smack ya around (and borrow your bike too) :D

I happen to know a Land Rover engineer who did exactly the same thing a few years ago :eek:.



And his result was even worse :p.

Boxer, in the future make sure the yellow button is popped up, pull the red lever back to do this.:)

My 200 Disco had an essay on the sunvisor explaining the vices of 2wd dynos. Why on earth did they get rid of that warning sticker?

they didnt, its in every single landrover Ive ever been in that had full time 4wd usually near the tyre placard, on the fusebox, next door to the heights placard on the drivers B pillar, on the visors in the service manual, in the owners manual AND in the workshops manuals should you have them..... some of them specifically mention it as dyno work others mention it for lift tow recoveries and all of them (when you find them) say "drop the propshaft if you want to try this"

Imagine what would have happened if youd tried it with a VC eqquiped Tcase...

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
