You could write a good movie since I bought Thomas... maybe I should not have said I think i’ve bought a good one.
So...
Thomas went in for a rear diff lock actuator (2nd hand eBay with 3month warranty) and new tyres. Turns out the part electrically works but mechanically not... currently trying to get money back.
Picked it up after garage had shut and on start up the CDL light was on. Shifted through the box and transfer box and dash switch. Stayed on. Drove 3miles home and stayed on. On reversing on to the drive can hear tyres scrubbing so assuming it’s engaged.
Found an old tread on here with some diagnostic tests that I will try tomorrow if it’s dry.
Sounds like, if it needs it, a replacement is a PITA.
