its probably siezed, lots of wd40 around the linkages, and gently ease it off, and i mean gently, you can crack the selecta plate and have a huge oil leak, like what i did  :oops:  :roll:

I have the same issue myself, its solid when trying to move it accross, but at the same time allows me to swap between high and low ratio.

I have tried the wd40 trick for some 2 hours and with the use of a bar trying to move over the linkage but to no avail. When i get the time i will be removing the plate thats rivet around the diff lock lever and accessing it from above. Failing that then normal 4WD will have to do  :cry:

Had the same problem with my 300 TDI and someone sent me this link click here (http://home.twcny.rr.com/eeibooks/rover/discodifflock.htm)

Follow the instructions and you will free the difflock. Then use the difflock to ensure that it stays free
