Hi fellas.  I've just got a bobtailed classic with a 4 speed manual box.  which posisition should the diff lock plunger be in to engage it.  I'm guessing up but thought I'd check.

If it is the same sort of set up as my Disco, push the t/gearbox lever to the left (if you are looking at it) to engage difflock and to the right to disengage.

No it's the 4 speed with vac operated diff-lock and IIRC you push it to engage.

Easy way to check it (which you should do anyway) is lift up a wheel and see.

Got to ask, is this different from a 3 speed auto box, on mine I just push it to the left to get diff lock, a light comes on, on the dash but should I feel an engagement of some sort, it all seems a bit too easy.

If its a 4speed  LT95  i thought it was up to engage ,down to disengage,as it would be easy to accidentally knock the plunger down and 'wind up' the diff. :?

LT95 is pull to engage, but only if the pipes are fitted the right way round.
