Its probably just a loose wire on the front if its the shift on the fly model, if not see if its got manual locking hubs fitted, that caught rabbit out on his first day out Smile

Also with auto hubs you need to select 4x4 before you lose traction or they wont engage.

Mine do

Surely if the front propshaft is turning, they take up at the hub Question

I've got stuck in 2WD a couple of times Embarassed

towing the caravan of a muddy field, engage 4WD and driven off as if nothing was ever wrong!
