Any chance of a few more details of what you actually did.

Yeah of course. It's dead easy- the hardest bit is making sure you get the right wire.

1.Remove plastic trim around the handbrake (2 screws).

2.Under the carpet is a bundle of wires (loom) Locate small group of wires that splits from the bigger loom. It goes through a grommet in the floor, just behind the handbrake. The wire you want is in this group.

3.Peel back the loom insulation and locate a thick blue and black striped wire with red spots on it. (Be aware there are 2 blue and black wires but the one you want is thicker with red spots on it)

4.Cut the wire and connect the ends to a simple on/off toggle switch. I extended the wires by about 100mm and drilled a small hole in the plastic trim beside the handbrake to locate the switch.

5.Test it works with the engine running. Select 4wd the flick the switch. The 4wd on the dash should go off when the switch is off and come back on with the switch is on.

6. Put it all back together.

Now you have a switch that will control the engagement of the front hubs. By selecting 4Lo then flicking the switch your front hubs will disengage. The 4wd light on the dash will indicate if the hubs are engaged or not.

Genius!!!!!! what an absolutely fantastic idea and it costs next to nothing to mod!!!

Today The Calipers were refurbished with a kit from Big Red and new pads, also the vacuum pipes were completely sha88ed so replaced them with silicone 3mm hose (easier than doing the calipers!) Then it flew through its MOT even tho its been standing for god knows how long!

Took the horn off the Jim and fitted it to my Kangoo van. (MOT due!)

Fitted my DIY arm rest today. Can be instantly removed for when I have awkward cargo.

i found out that mine does 70mph :lol: did get a sway on tho :lol:
