| Hi Christopher

| that diff.lock on the dash.Did you modified it?

You have to buy the switch from a Toyota dealer (about =A350), then fit it to the dash. The wiring is already there behind the dash, at the top right (on my right hand drive model) behind a blank switch position. You pull a plug off the connector, fit it to the switch, and that's that.
It is a really easy fix - takes about 5 minutes, of which 4 minutes is unscrewing and refitting the dash panel. See
http://www.lcool.org/technical/80_series/80_series_technical.html (you want link "Centre Diff lock, manual control in High range", but the other links are worth reading too.)
I have a manual gearbox, so I just disconnected and taped up the switch on the transfer case to stop it being engaged in low range, so now I have exclusively manual control of the centre diff-lock. It's described in those pages, but just one hint: make sure the exhaust is cold before you start poking around under there!
If you have an auto box you can still disconnect the switch on the transfer case, but apparently the ECU gets in a bit of a muddle with gear-change speeds, and you are better off doing a "pin 7 mod". You'll have to ask someone with an auto box what it is all about!
