cool i will have a look
Lee..in a case like that all thats i can say is the lord can get me outa dis mud..but he,s pretty sure your fucked
na if someone breaks a diff or something there are usually enough of us around to recover the motor with winches etc, all the lads i go out with have uprated diffs half shafts and cv joints so theres never realy much brakages
cool i will have a look

alan..your not going to tow 2 tons of discovery on an unbraked a frame with a xantia are you? ..and you call me mad i,ll look out for you on police camera action 
if the range rover doesent have "lock" on the high low lever it will have a viscous centre diff in the transfer box so works fine off road

Take one long steep slippy muddy hill in Scotland.
Than take a stop at the bottom (notice the green poking up)
Now you can see what is hiding at the bottom
Oh by the way there was a 30ft drop over the edge and a Disco headed its way
One kind of sorry Disco looking a bit worse for wear. Good thing it was someone elses motor!!!!!!
Theres no point pointing at it now you been down it....lol. Notice the marks above his hand three quarters the way up the hill but dont quite make it to the top. He got most of the way up and then went sledging back down.

Well after reading this post i have been today and bought a 200tdi discovery......
after looking for the last 2 weeks and many miles looking at disco's with no inner wings and boot floors i found one cheap as chips right next to me as it only has drive when in diff lock......and guess what.... it is solid as a rock just one little hole in the o/s inner wing.....boot floor and rear chassis is solid....
Think it has a knackered half shaft as there is a clunk from the o/s/f wheel...
