Similar to a Land Rover, it's probably never been used and is siezed or jammed.

I've never heard of low range not working but I have known people to have trouble selecting it. The pattern is on top of the lever. Shift back for 4wd, then press down and shift back further for low.
It can also be hard to select if the vehicle has had a body lift fitted. In this case the gear stick fouls the body and needs to be bent, or the hole in the floor trimmed.

My 90 has definitely been used although i did have to play with that as previous owners certainly hadn’t been beyond a grassy car park. The instructions on the lever are clear enough snd I had wondered if it was a consequence of raising.
When i stop driving around picking up stuff my wife keeps buying on Marketplace. I will have a proper look. Lol

I have ust been away for a few days and have just taken some photos whilst the chap was swapping my tyres over. Perhaps some could advise what lift does it appear I have and also what is going on with the non symmetrical rear shock lower mounts. The don't look right at all, or is it just some odd peculiarity of it being raised which I doubt.

There's some dubious looking DIY action going on there! Spring spacers on the front, rotted out front body mount but no body lift and looks like they have tried to make rear shock spacers but didn't understand the significance of having the pivots at 180 degrees to each other.

The spring does not appear to be correctly located at the bottom. Spring spacers obviously (badly) home made. The home made rear shock mounts have 1 bolt to locate instead of a minimum 2 and it has loosened and the mount has swiveled.
