Answer me this...

[joe GT]

One (more) question- and may be an obvious one, but inlighten me!...

Does the surf, when not engaged in 4WD, does it run permamnant RearWD or FrontWD?

cheers (again)

Joe.

[stormforce]

it is rear wheel drive when not in 4wd

[joe GT]

aaaaah... Thanks alot matey! for some reason, i thought it may have been FWD.

At the moment, I'm driving it with the auto selector in position "D", and the other 4WD selector in the middle ( with 4WD NOT on...)

Is this the most economic way of rididng the Surf?

Joe.

(sorry about all the questions guys...)

In the middle ??????

Are you sure you are driving with it in the middle ?

Wish to change your mind ?

[stormforce]

have it in D and the other lever as far forward as it will go for 2wd.if the lever is in N you wont go anywhere and if you have it in l4 or press the button on the gear selector you are liable to get transmission wind up which will be expensive if driven on tarmac

Transfer lever pulled back towards the seat, main lever in 'D' O/D light on dash off.

Ahem, don't we mean back towards the seat, as Bushy as said ?

[joe GT]

And to move the 4WD transfer lever forward or back i just basically pull or push- take it thats with the engine on and foot on the break, with main selector lever in "D"?

Main lever in 'P' or 'N' otherwise nasty graunching noises will happen.

[joe GT]

Right, here goes-

4WD selector status-
("L4") 4WD selector far forward, toward engine,"4WD" is illistrated on dash lights.

("N") 4WD selector in the middle, "A/TP" is illistrated on dash lights.


("H") 4WD selector as far back as it will go, toward the seat, reads "H" position on 4WD selector...

THUS-

Main selector lever - "D"
+
4WD selector lever - "H"
+
"O/D OFF"
=
ECONOMY??

i have always left the overdrive on apart from pulling out at busy junctions or the like then turn it off till i'm clear then turn it on again

Almost, I think you get better economy with O/D on, and also with Veg in

[joe GT]

so what does "A/TP" mean or stand for? (on the 4WD selector)
