That's it Peej in a nutshell.....
With snow, somethimes you have to reverse a great deal and the constant locking and unlocking of the auto hubs is a big strain. Let's face it, the auto hubs are a fantastic convenience but are the weakest link in the drivetrain. With manuals, if you are likely to need 4WD on a journey then lock the hubs before you set off and save yourself getting ouut into that nasty cold air... 
BTW, I am (as was pointed out earlier) only talking about early models not the later SOTF....

Unless I'm talking out of my elbow, if you haven't got shift on the fly, you have to stop the vehicle to engage 4x4.

Spot on! Same applies for engaging Low Ratio on ALL motors.

It's all a bit gibberish to me, not well versed in anything 4x4 and don't have any kind of manual or handbook to refer to.
Could pick a time when I'm a little less tired and read through I suppose

 Got ya, I tend to glaze over a bit at times too, when I'm flagging.
