4WD Do's and Don't

Hi all,

Given the snow at the weekend, I had my first go in 4WD when I did the school run on the Monday morning. But it occurred to me that I don't really know what the proper procedure is for engaging 4WD on the terry and I wondered if there are any common do's and don't for this?

I remember from my Army days, on the one and only day I got to do some off-road training in a DAF, we had to come to a stop and put it in neutral to switch between 2WD and 4WD. Is that the case with a terry, or was that just unique to the old DAF geat box?

Any tips or tricks for 4WDing would be much appreciated.
