Called in this morning,started her up and drove her back and forth gave a few jerks on the clutch and the rear diff actuator is now working freely yee haa, can't have been to bad had removed the light switch for the actuator and poured some gear oil in and the overnight soak must have been all it needed,I'm very sad but 2 green lights look well lol.
