WHEN DO I USE 4x4 OPTION.

WADEY · 29-11-2010, 12:44

Hi there. Just joined the club and I am after some information regarding the use of 4x4 option. i.e. when can I use it. I have asked one or two people with similar vehicles to mine, but it appears that they don't know either. I have therefore asked the experts i.e. your good selves. The vehicle I have is a Terrano Salomon 2.7 TDI SWB. It is a 1998 model. I live in Lancashire and if it is possible I would like to speak to someone about it. I don't know whether it is allowed for telephone numbers to be given or not. If it is a land line would be appreciated due to the cost.
Many thanks for your anticipated help. WADEY.

any time when your NOT on hard ground, theres got to be a little give other wise youll get "windup" so a search.. loads on here..

if you got snow and ice on the road use it... if the srearing fells " tight" the drop out of 4WD.. as that the "windup" your feeling...

And don't forget when you go back into 2WD T o reverse a few feet to unlock the front.

No, in fact theres no NEED to bother at all except it may save you a tiny bit of fuel. You'll back up and unlock the hubs soon enough in the normal course of driving. Bt when out laning etc it really isn't necessary to unlock after every lane, just do it at the end of the day.
