no 2 wheel drive

[sico landy]

Hello I have a 96 tdi disco and in hi and low 2 wheel drive it wont go. There is just a sort of scrapping sound. In 4wd there is no probs it drives great.Does any one have info on this.

I would quit driving it and have someone inspect the rear diff. Either you blew the rear diff or the axles. This is kind of common in that Rover never used a really strong diff in our trucks.

what about the gear box could it have any thing to do with that

Maybe because there isn't a 2 wheel drive option on a Disco?

That is how Elemental feels he must participate, not much on help.

Sico,
If you start up your truck, while in High range, put your tranny in drive and look under the truck, you will see your rear drive shaft spinning, this is a good indication of a bad rear dif.

Bad desciptions of the problem yield bad advise...

Is giving BAD advise really any help at all?


Best advise you are going to find is this.

Buy this REQUIRED TOOL. Read it, and see how the system works. Onl y when you know how something works can you properly diagnosis the concern.

If you have questions that you want cleared up, after having a basic understanding of what you are looking at.... Then ask.
