Hi,
Wife's fronty "Broke Down" last night.
You could select gears but no motion......
Could even select gears without putting the clutch in.
Trie the 4wd switch to no avail.....
Called out the recovery truck.....
Sat with the car for an hour until they turned up.....
Solved in 10 seconds!
The 4wd lever had slipped into neutral!
I didn't even know it could do that......... :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Oh the relief !!!

I thought it was just me !

I was sat at the front of a queue at some temporary traffic lights in rush hour, bloke behind started going nuts within 10 seconds hanging onto his horn life his life depended on it.

I got out and had to explain in VERY clear terms where i would shove his horn if he didnt F*%£ Off and explained the damn car was knackered only to get back into the car and knock the 4wd lever and it burst back into life :D :oops:
Its Nice to be Nice to Nice People !
