Help with getting landy ready

PeterLilith said:

I just spoke to Land Rover technician and they said I can also check if 4WD is working by doing slow full lock turn and then taking my foot of the gas. If there is no sudden stop, pressure or breaking, then its a sign its all working.

Anyone tried or heard of that before?

Yes.

But do the wheel up test.

Yeah that is one the list. They will help me do it after I try this.

Thanks for the advise. Do you know where on the forum I can find the test thing? I'll try to do this sometime this week.

Also, why did you remove the prop shaft Alibro? Not being able to turn the wheel was bad?

Yes

Tried it when on test drive but it didn't show any issues so thought all was well. That may be because it was raining and the wheel may have been able slide on the wet ground but I had no problem forward or backwards on tickover in a K series so now I don't trust this as a test.

I went to Green Oval Garage in Leeds this morning for the 4WD check up and turns out it doesn't work sadly, the front wheels are not turning. They explained what could be causing it, but couldn't know without looking into it more. Best case prices were around £400, worst case £1,000 or more.

I think I'll have it checked in more detail after LZ11, but if it turns out to be too expensive, I might be considering getting a different Landy.
