Chock the wheels - WITH GOOD CHOCKS, handbrake off and jack up a rear wheel. BE VERY CAREFUL as the wheel will spin and release the tension on the driveline - this should extinguish the light as well....

LEVEL GROUND and USE CHOCKS!

The difflock lever may be moving, but is the internal linkage :?:

Get underneath and check that the lot moves when the lever is moved side to side. It could be that the linkage has come undone (it happened to me).

A safer way of doing the same would be to find a patch of grass or gravel, that should be enough for it to unwind.
