Just as Zippy says.

You are only supposed to use 4WD in slippery conditions; if you engage it on dry tarmac and try a tight forward or reverse turn you'll feel the transmission wind up and the tyres scrubbing - its very obvious compared to 2WD. If it does that then 4WD is OK. To disengage you just put lever back to 2WD and on that MkII just reverse a few metres in a straight line and the little green light on the dash goes out.

Good luck, hope it goes well.

Cheers for the advice on checkig the 4WD. Are problems engaging this (or the low box) common? If there are issues are they generally an easy fix?

should all be ok, but if not its normaly the auto hubs, get MANUAL ones fitted if you can

when you collect it then Ian??

saturday or Sunday?

Ian Hunt · 18-02-2010, 09:06

Hoping to pick it up Saturday lunchtime

Could be useful as we appear to have snow on the ground once again!
I then want to get it a full service and all the fluids changed before any serious use.
