***, sounds like an interesting drive system on your 4x4. I'm used to the Land Rover one - I have an extra gear lever forward of the normal one, which controls the transfer box - pull back for high range, push forward for low range, and push it left for centre diff lock. I've not had to use the diff lock since we got it (even on sheet ice last year - didn't need to, it was going fine without it!), though low range is very handy for bringing heavy cargo up and down steep slopes under control on slippery surfaces. <br /> <br />I've heard stories of people hauling broken-down 40 ton artic trucks using low 1st gear and a decent rope, which gives a hint as to how much power is available. We had a problem with the transfer box when we took delivery - the last owner had never moved the lever from "High Range" and the linkage seizes if you don't use it. I make a point of using low range at least once a month now, just to keep things mobile. <br /> <br />Of course, the really fun one are the older Land Rovers - the "Series" vehicles - where you have three levers - normal gearbox, red-topped one for transfer box (4wd is locked in low range) and a yellow button to lock 4wd in high range - one to confuse any potential carjackers I think!
