Thread: It Went Bang!!!

Could do with some more details? Was it the defender?, was it under heavy load when it happened etc.

Have you tried using low range on the transfer case to see if anything happens? Also is there any noise when you try to move the car in gear... Pretty much more info please.

Thoughts and opinions please?

Apart from burning the hunk of sh*t to the ground

Had that happen to my ZG 351 Fairlane.
Busted the gearbox

Did you have a look to see if it had junped out of high range ?

My Disco does that if not locked in properly.

Try locking the CDL. My Disco did that and it was a CV joint. If you have drive with the CDL locked that's what it probably is.

Mine has done that before. It just poped out of high range.

Yeah it was my Fender stirlsilver.
Was under minimal load going up my driveway.

I cant get low range at all

Ron i checked to make sure it was engaged properly as that's what it felt like.

Have you had someone look underneath while you try and drive? (NOT PUTTING THEMSELVES IN THE WAY OF ANY WHEELS)
Is either prop shaft rotating?

The only thing I can think of is that your central diff was locked somehow without the indicator being lit and (assuming you turned a corner to get into your driveway) it blew the central diff... It's the only thing that could have any sort of load.

I managed to get it into low range and still nothing....engaged the centre diff and nothing(no light either)
