Stupid question time

Yes. When on loose surfaces the Tyres can slip/spin.

So unless your doing NASCAR style tracks the wind up should be minimal?

I to select 2wd when not needed, but as soon as I leave the formed road/track its 4wd as it saves tracks and keep the nicer for longer..

Hijack.
Is it imperative to always let the glow plug light to go off before starting.
Cos the Missus never waits for the glow plugs to warm up.
What happens.

Just takes a bit more cranking to start it, no real damage but I guess it would decrease the life of your starter motor?

Makes the gear changes short and sharp, nice and crisp and clean. Helps hold the gear. Increases engine braking slightly.
Significantly reduces "flare".
It's said to increase the strength of a gearbox too. By fitting one to a vehicle (and changing nothing else)with the tb42 engine it's said to increase the strength of the box to be able to handle over 3 times the power of the engine.
Ideal for towing.
I was amazed at how much difference it made. Changes gears like a sports car.
If roosting in mud, it can even change up a gear without stopping the roost!

Re. Auto hubs

Never had them. If the advice is to manually lock in auto hubs whenever in 4wd terrain, what is the point of having auto hubs? When are they useful?

I love it hijacking your own thread lmao
