Hi Alex, thanks, took solinoid off and cleaned it, the 1 pipe was blocked. A least I now know this thing is not an electric diff lock its vacume operated, by the year 2020 I might be able to change a wheel on it if I read the posts properly :oldtimer: :lol:

Hi Martyn

Glad you got sorted.

I am a much slower learner. I have to learn of every aspect of my car one item at a time.
So the diff lock is ticked off. I don't think the vacuum system is the most robust out there.

I had a similar problem. Gave it a small knock with a small hammer to solve the problem.
