No drive from rear in my Discovery 1 only drive from front?

Thanks for all of your input guys I really appreciate it, will go and clean up CDL selector and try using it and see how we go! Must say I am impressed where it has gone so far in One wheel drive LOL.

That one wheel drive thing is a trick some off road driving instructors do

Ask people how many wheel drive the land rovers are and they say 4 wheel drive so you jack a wheel up and drive and therefore the car goes no where. And then you ask again how many wheel drive they are.
They normally say you need the CDL and that will make it 4 wheel drive so you then jack up an other wheel on the opposite axel and engage CDL and then drive the car and show that the car still won't move and ask again how many wheels are driving the car

Just a basic lesson in understanding the four wheel drive systems and diffs of a land rover.

Not just landies, ANY "4wd" unless it has lockers fitted or independent traction aids are the same, Patrools , Tojos, Pusluxs, Cross them up and you go nowhere! Thats the idea of longer susp travel, try and keep them round black thingies in contact with mother earth! :D

Don't make assumptions guys. Make sure you cover the basics before launching in with the broken axle / knackered diff theories. ;)

I am not a clairvoyant - Pinchy has also posted on another forum and after a couple of posts it came out that he cannot activate his CDL from the lever and did not have the CDL engaged. He can activate CDL from the tfr case but hadn't - he needs to investigate the lever/linkage issues.
