Maybe just an isue with the transfer case ratio selector. I recall an occasion when my RRC slipped out of high range whilst under load that caused quite a loud bang - no damage and only needed engaging again but properly this time.
Must have been a common thing - my old 2 door RRC used to do this on a fairly regular basis. ;)Quote:

No drive in either.
Still waiting on Diagnosis.:(
I suspect it was my 2-door because it jumped out of 5th if not held in until drive was taken-up.
Damn that sucks no good at all fingers crossed its an easy and quick fix for you and you get your rig back asap!!
Well, the rather interesting diagnosis is:
"A broken rear drive shaft" :eek:
I don't know any detail but I'm not sure that I don't now have more questions than answers trying to fit the answer to the symptoms I observed.
But they are the experts and I am definitely not. Hopefully it will make more sense when I pick it up and have more details.
I will apparently have the car back tomorrow evening :)
And for anyone wondering......the daughters 1.8 manual 2002 Astra makes a reasonably crappy replacement for a Disco 4 :p ( But better than the bus.)
Interesting, I would have thought the centre diff would have locked to some extent and provided some drive to the front wheels.
