The transfer lever can be a little stiff to engage if it hasn't been used for a while or if the gears aren't quite lined up - I've always just put them in first whilst parked, with the brake and clutch pressed down, and slowly raised the clutch whilst pushing the transfer lever forward into low - as the cogs line up it should pop in nicely.

Also best to make high to low and back a double process (similar to double de clutch)
i.e. from high to low - push lever forward with clutch in to neutral position on low box. Lift clutch and then depress clutch again and go into low range. To ensure low range is locked in, rock car forward slightly in first gear and push forward low range gear stick again. To go into difflock just slide lever to left at anytime, hi or low box. Going back into high ratio is reverse. 
Best to go into low range when stationary, but I believe you can do it while moving very slowly, I always seem crash gears when I do this. There should be plenty of threads on here or other sites about checking box levels, also in Haynes manual. Steve Defender 90 TD5 Station Wagon

There are loads on here about how to do this and several suggestions above.
you dont need to double declutch if you are stationary doing the change, just keep the main box in a gear and work it using the clutch as described two posts up. I suggest you do all changes stationary to start with until you get the hang of it. Low to high on the move can take some practising. I would always do high to low stationary anyway.

I find making the change whilst the vehicle is just rolling - ie 1-2mph - works well for me

my guess would be that its never been used, was there any signs of off roading when you got it ?

When going from high to low I just put the main into neutral, take my foot off the clutch and then press the transfer lever forward. Smooth like butter.
For low to high I use the same procedure. Hans http://www.orlaya.fr |

My high-low stick keeps going from low to neutral whenever I stop pushing the gas-pedal. When there's no power on the transfer-box, the stick jumps to neutral. This makes it impossible for me to change gear when driving in low.
When driving in high, there's no problem.TDCIpuma 2008 Kris |

Its not fully engaging in low. Either linkage needs adjusting or it needs to be pushed further fwd. Sounds like only partial gear engagement Cheers

Problem solved. There were parts missing inside the transfer-box.
From now on, my co-pilot does not have e to hold the knob all the time when off-road. Kris |

Kris,
'parts missing in the transfer-box', care to explain a bit further? Does this mean the box was actually incomplete? I'm currently looking to buy a relatively young and Td5 which pops out of low gear too whenever I release the throttle. Low gear hasn't been used often, if ever in the last year.
