This disappears once the engine is hot. Does this mean there is wear on the gear sync or is it normal on these...

4x4 usage

Hi I've seen advice not only to my previous question but to others too, not to engage 4x4 on the pavement. Why is this? Other than increased feul consumption is there any danger to driving with four motorised wheels on a tarmac'd road? Cheers Gareth

We've had both snow followed by torrential rain which was a piece of cake for a 4WD, I even helped a guy in a van out today who got bogged down. It's a big...

Apologies & Thanks

Hi   Sorry if  I jumped prematurely to any conclusions about the club, that was not fair of me and I apologise.  I would like to thank those who replied as you have answered my question and set my mind to rest that I won't risk damaging the car.  Most of my driving is part on road part off road so I...

Wheel Locks

Hi I've just acquired a 1989 Nissan Ebro Patrol, and was wondering if there is any problem with leaving the front wheels in the LOCK position when in 2WD over short distances. I do a lot of track and offroad driving around lakes etc but need to use public roads to get there. It is a bit if a pain, e...
