I believe so...
(and "Welcome" as this is your 1st post

)
When you turn the propshaft, the wheel under least resistance should turn...
Hence why people use diff lockers, Torsen Diffs, or Traction Control... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

but the other wheel does turn i take it.

it jsut happens that the wheel you are turning has more resistance than the other wheel on the same axle. were you turning a passenger side one?

yes normal. diff is working Cheers
