And from my recent experience with the 101:
If you engage the diff lock but it wont go off again when you try to
disengage it, then jack up one rear corner with the handbrake off and
spin the wheel until the difflock actually disengages.
Couldnt get mine to disengage without doing that. Tried reversing and
reversing with steering turned on gravel and it wouldnt have it!
