Any ideas, why the front diff lock leaver is jammed and unable to pull it while stationary?
But the back one is ok comes up fine (with a bit of brute force)
Not tried for real (off road) as yet.

Mine did that the other day, a bit of WD40 on the linkage underneath and it was fine again!
Worth a try :D

or the cylinder could be seized through lack of use, always good to pull them up every week whilst staionary to keep them free.

Cheers mate for that, will get the wd40 out over the weekend!
Is it the same linkage as the three gear selector rods one? under the gear lever?

They sit sort of on the right as you lie underneath your G, you can recognize them by two spring things attached to them ( I am not very technical :D )
Just spray them and see what happens
