I was shouting at the screen to stop you taking the motor in bits, you can reach all the mechanism from under the vehicle and pray with WD40 to get everything free then spray with lithium grease, the switch is often not the problem but again can be reached from under the car, its tight and fiddly but its better than taking the interior to bits, that would of been my last resort if spraying and working the mechanism didn't work, i did mine a while back, was a 10 minuet job.

Can I replace the switch from under the car? If so, is this the correct part number for the switch? Part: IGM500011

The access for the diff on the Discovery 1 is terrible. And the selector mechanism is not sealed up as nicely as the Defender; the rest of the system is pretty much the same as in this video. Also, the rubber boot for the selector is riveted into place which means if you want to do some maintenance on it like in this video, you've got to come up with a way of getting it off and securing it back in place.
