Hi all, gonna get the bucket looked at today cos can't work out what's wrong with it...but just wondered if anyone knows how it works. There is no actuator, vacume canister, selonoid etc as per workshop manuals?.
I'm guessing when front diff is on it locks into the hubs?

no idea how they work mate cant you change them for manual free wheeling hubs and be done with it?

I agree - if it's a cheap enough option I would do this anyway - there is really no negatives to it - more MPG on road - less tyre wear on road - quickly pop out & flick them round - TRACTIONNNNN!!! :p =]

Yeh they aint expensive well under 100 quid simple to swap out also less wear on the front cv joints gaitors and prop no brainer and you get to use the low box in 2wd

Would be simpler to have manual hubs, less problems too....i agree with that
Just wait for the phone call, if he says its the hubs i'l change em over asap or i'l never get off road!

maybe some one basterdised it before you got it and only used it in 2wd mate you know what people are like

that does sound strange mate ........
you say it used to work fine but doesn't now ?

Yep, it was working fine, last time before Kirton was Jan this year, mechanic ain't got back to me, guess he's puzzled too Mabe.

that is a strange one mate
does @diggermandan have a similar set upon his that might shed light on this perhaps ?

Just had call from mechanic, it's one of the hubs, just going down to see within the hour.

WOAH THERE @Antonio .... Sounds like you have the very useful auto locking hubs.
What you effectively have is a(bi-directional) 1 way bearing in your front hub. It will probably lock itself as you apply torque through the drive shaft. It is what I have and it is basically the manual locking hubs but you don't have to get dirty to engage them!

Kind of work like:

You can shift into 4wd while moving SLOWLY and preferably in a straight line.

Oh and to disengage, you just move the transfer lever into 2H(again, moving SUPER slow because there is no syncro in the transfer box) if your front axle doesn't disengage it isn't really a problem, it will rotate your diff but that is all. It will disengage the first time you reverse about a metre

Thanks Dan, I want to keep it if I can, just need to find replacment hub.
Manual lock are @£40 from Millners, if I don't find auto il fit temp manual till I find replacment.
Thanks again mate, think yours an mine are the oldest now if the beast don't come back .

Some of. There are a couple of K34s and K24s still knocking around
