>I took another car for my errand and when I got back home I jacked up 
the back end of the Triumph and spun the rear left wheel forward. It 
spun freely -- then stopped cold. Then I spun it backward and then 
forward again, without any problem. When I spun the left wheel, the 
right one turned in the opposite direction as expected. I went to the 
other side and spun the right wheel. The left rear wheel didn't spin.

Then it was time for dinner, then time to put the boys to bed and so 
I'll get back to the TR4 in the morning. But maybe these clues are 
enough for you? What will I find?

I'm afraid what you'll find is that you need a new differential.  Sorry

Dave
