My Beautiful wife

[slobodan]

Wife.."Can I take the Surf into town?"

(there is a foot of snow on the ground)

Me.. "Course you can, only it's not like your other 4 wheel drives"

Wife.. "What do you mean?"

Me.. "when it's slippery engage 4 wheel drive, where the road is clear, back into 2 wheel drive" I then gave a detailed speech on axle wind up blah blah, finishing with, "when you take it out of 4 wheel drive, the light sometimes stays on for a while"

Wife.. "OK, I'm not stupid"

I just had a phone call... "Why does the 'overdrive off' light go on and off while I'm driving"

[slobodan]

Wonder if I'll see it again...

"When you take it out of 4 wheel drive the light sometimes stays on for a while."


When this happens is it actually out of 4WD and the light's just stuck on, or is it actually stuck in 4WD for a while? Why does quickly putting it into reverse sort it out if it's just the 4WD light that's stuck on?

I believe it's still in 4wd, not just the light. I have sort of got a knack now of coming off the power, and then it comes out of 4wd easier.
If it refuses to come out of 4wd I stop and reverse up a bit and it pops out.
I think it's to do with the rotation of the earth, and which way round you are driving.
