[axeman]

Any help or advice me many thanks neil.

Check the pipe work back till you have vacuum. Check the output of the reservoir green balls thing by pulling off the hose. Here is a diagram of the workings.

nice diagram Simon. found a split rubber hose next to the front diff so hopefully it will cost pence to fix the diff locks and not lots of pounds.

There will likely be others too, if there is enough spare length. Trim about 1" off the rears too, and then keep the bits you cutoff and inspect for perishing perishmentitis under good light. If the cut end is perished, cut another 1/2" off etc

There has been a complete diff-lock trouble-shooter one Syncro website for about 5 years now...
