OK - so I've noticed today that the 2.4 and the 3.0 seem to have rather different setups for 4wd, the 2,4 has a separate vacuum tank under the RHS wheel arch, the 3.0 doesn't and seems to take it from what I can only assume due to lack of knowledge, is something to do with the brakes????? The big round thing at the back of the RHS engine bay, that is common between the 2.4 and 3.0
Now - I've checked all the pipes and they are all connected, and no holes (apart from the ones at either end) but at the back of the engine bay on the 3.0 and a little further forward on the 2.4 is a small black thing that looks like a squashed cylinder. Now, the 2.4 I can trace the pipe from the alternator out to the vacuum pump, then across the engine to this little black cylinder - the 3.0 comes from what I think is a vacuum tank for the brakes and 4wd, along the engine and out at the back near the bulkhead and into this cylinder.
What I need to know from someone with a 3.0 is how the pipes are connected from into the little black cylinder that I assume the previous owner thought was the EGR as one of the pipes had been capped, so in order to reconnect and test - can anyone tell me:
What the big thing is on the RHS (from the inside so LHS as you are standing in front of the truck) and how the pipes should all run.
What the little black cylinder is, and how the pipes should connect to this (one has a 't' joint in, so one pipe in, two pipes out)
If I can work this out, there is a chance the 4wd will be working by the end of the day, as I am still just getting lots of clicks from the relay with the engine running and the 4wd switch in on the transfer lever.
I also took the breather cap off the front diff to see if it was blocked, and disconnected, cleaned out then reconnected to cable on the front of the diff
HELP - Please - I want to go to Avon Dassett tomorrow, and then on to Wales, and other trips - but can't get the 4wd to come on........
TIA
