Wheels have been up, I replaced the discs and pads a couple of weeks ago and checked the wheels/axle etc (oh, and fitted manual hubs too)...

All I would (and still do) get is the relay clicks on, then off, then repeats this, a few times, but always ends up off - when the engine is running - when the engine is off, it clicks on, stays on, but no light on the dash

[gwh200]

so engine running (making a vacumn) realy eventually goes off

engine off (not making a vacumn) relay stays on but no 4wd.

all vacumn lines are in the right place/right way round.

a soon as the switching gear(which is all working) detects a change in pressure(drop in vacumn) the pricess starts.

the relay in question is getting the correct signal because of all the above


something past the relay between the diff (which is ok) and the relay is acting up

am deffo edging towards the transfer box

that would be my guess too, as if it took a knock would of made it engage, once it had recovered from the knock came back out of 4wd.

try smacking it with a really big hammer and see if it does the same

you can only try these things, if it worked with a big thud, then give it another. note the signature

[joker??]
