just a thought have you checked that you have auto hubs fitted as you just might have manual ones

[dave-mr2-frontera]

i dont know how i check this? how do you never had a 4wd before but man there fun lol going to get new circlips on monday try replace them hope this makes a diffrences

If the front hubs look like the ones in the pics on the thread above (Steve's post) then they are auto hubs (and damn those white wheels were clean!) --- I have copied the picture of the Auto Hubs across for comparison together...

AUTO HUBS



MANUAL HUBS


Then you have manual hubs and you will have to turn that to LOCK in order to make the hubs engage.

Let us know what ones you've got.

It might be worthwhile having a read through THIS THREAD before trying again and also before pulling the hubs apart. It might be technique more than a problem (not saying you don't know what your doing, but have a read and then go play, don't forget to not do it on tarmac!)

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

PS. the 2.0 is not very good on fuel economy! (Drive it steady and don't rev it too hard and it does get slightly better but it's a heavy vehicle with a small underpowered engine)

Strip hub, check that the circlip is attached
If it comes off the drive shaft can slip back of the splines and you will lose drive at the front.
Quick check, grab the drive shafts and check for excessive movement in and out of the hub

i have noticed that there is no washer or circlip. so i phoned vauxhall to get a new one and they dont have them in stock and there are 10 diffrent sizes for the auto lock hubs ? at 1-0.5 mm incraments and i dont have feller gauges. does any body now the size. and still cant figure out were the washer and circlip goes ?many thanks
