Binding when reversing

Calipers not retracting properly? Caliper loose? WAG.

Centre diff hasn't engaged inadvertently?, though you'd feel that through the steering on a hard surface.

I thought of that too but surely it would be apparent going forward as well?

Yep, you'd think. though a struggle to move forward was mentioned.

as previously stated, jacking a wheel should help to zone in on it a bit

Indeed.

Lots happening in my life out of the blue this week so haven’t had time to investigate further sorry

Never experienced anything like it in a Land Rover in all the years I’ve had them

Jacked the wheel up at the back and no handbrake binding even with slight pressure on the shoes… that counts that out I believe

Did the front and did full lock either way and no binding banging or other bad behaviour

What’s that leave me with?

Clutch or transfer case?

But why only reverse?

CVs? But if there is no noise, particularly on full lock, that's unlikely.
Have you still got the CVs that you got from me? They were to suit a D1.

I had a similar problem years ago. R380. If in reverse with clutch depressed, and the vehicle rolled backwards, it would bind. releasing the clutch also released the binding, but with a clunk. A gear was climbing over another due to a failed bearing in the gearbox. A rebuild fixed it. Doesn't sound like your problem exactly, but might give food for thought.
Don.

Also unis or the rotary coupler could be worth a look.
