Not touched it for over a year, nor tried to go Low/High in that time. (although I did do the HDC the other week?) .

Was a gremlin, must have scared it off, because it hasn't revisited. .

Ah, well, it came back again this morning. Exactly the same MO: car sat for five days, then driven 50 miles. car then sat for two days, then driven @ 1.5 miles @ 7.30am. Happened in exactly the same place on the road on the way to work. Only got five bongs this time.

Bit of high low switching and liberal application of a hammer to the car, not necessarily to the transfer box, you dont want to anger it after all... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The fact that happens after leaving the car unused for 5 days is a clear indicator its the battery. Get a new one first before you get the hammer out. Maybe worth checking alternator output too. |

I know what you are saying about the battery, but it doesn't make sense.

Must hit the hammer to the motor shape of the transferbox motor, and you must test (like I do) the motor each week, or two days the week, mostly the drivers only drive in high range, therefore the low range becomes lazy .... had never used the low range about two years!

Joe next time before you go out see what voltage your actually getting at the battery and don't forget after cranking it drops another chunk as well so could be a gremlin where the system voltage gets back to a certain level? Maybe monitor it on the dash ? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
