FAQ’s

We have decided to add this section so our customers can refer back to it…….it will be added to as, and when.

Free wheeling hubs  -  fitted to improve economy, they disengage the front half shaft from the wheel, thus making it spin on it’s own…..Series Landrovers are rear wheel drive in standard mode, but even then the front wheels will turn the front differential and prop due to them being linked. The FWH’s isolate the front wheels, thus preventing the front assembly rotating, and hence saving fuel. FWH’s need to be engaged (turn clockwise) if four wheel drive is needed

Yellow and Red Levers  – to engage four wheel drive and low ratio combined, press the clutch and pull the red lever all the way towards the seat box. There is a neutral position at the halfway point which can be useful if you want to immobilise the Landrover. The four wheel drive setting in this configuration would be useful for low speed, high power need, ie pulling out a stuck vehicle or a tree stump. Two wheel drive is achieved by putting the lever back, with the clutch, but hold it in the forward position until it fully engages. It’s a good idea to play with these levers periodically to prevent seizing. The yellow lever gives four wheel drive at normal road speeds, and is suitable to be used in, say, slushy or icy conditions. To engage, press it down firmly…it should stay down…this can be done at any speed, whereas the red lever is used at rest. To disengage the yellow lever, passing the red lever through the neutral position should make it pop back up…then put the red lever back into high (to the bulkhead).  Four wheel drive should never be engaged in situations where the wheels cannot lose traction, as this will cause damage to the system, due to the fact that the 4WD system on a classic Landrover is fully linked, with no centre differential.
