Do you see the front and rear prop shafts turning? Does your D2 have a manual difflock? I'm wondering if a broken half shaft or CV would cause loss of drive.

Or sheered mainshaft on the gear box .
Try in gear with engine running and get someone carefully to look under the car and if a tailshaft is rotating with no drive that tail shaft is pointing to the trouble

LOL,

Lost Traction? You mean drive. I was waiting to see a massive powerful TD5 entered in a Summer Nats burn out competition.

Happy Days

Not the infamous stripped output shaft in the gearbox by any chance?

Thanks ,front and rear drives shafts are okay and turning . I am checking for the manual difflock pin on the gear box today. Some models have this difflock pin and some dont . Thanks .

I am trying to understand how the electronic traction control managers or control or engages the difflock. could this be also a solution to the problem problem . Mike

So if you put it in gear, get out and look underneath, do you see the tail shafts turning?

Try to identify if the problem is after the transfer box or before.
