Tomorrow will be two weeks with The Truck and I finally got around to playing with four-wheel drive. According to the owners manual (and lots of YouTube videos) you just push the lever with the yellow knob down and your in 4WD. I never could get 4WD engaged so I asked my pal George Tergin to take look. After several hours of investigation he thinks the problem is worn linkage.

We found this illustration on the Rovers North website and George thinks he’s ID’d the OEM part numbers. Trying to find and order these. I don’t expect to do any serious off-roading but I’d hate to have the only Land Rover in North America that doesn’t have four-wheel drive. Hoping to have this resolved before first snow.
