Jack one whole side of the Range Rover up so both wheels on the same side are off the ground. Put chocks under the two other wheels on the ground so the car can't move. Put it in gear and gently accelerate. Since the RR has open front and rear diffs, one wheel should spin first, then the other wheel will spin as well (the wheels off the ground) The other wheels won't move at all. This is safe to do. The way we checked our 92 was drive one side of the car into a 6-foot snowbank and gunned it with a helper checking to see which wheels were turning. Not sure how the VCU works-I think it locks when there are different speeds between axles. The car is phenomenal in snow.
