Two hours labour to change my transfer box today, mine failed to recognise engagement of 4L.
A switch fault I believe, as it moved to 4H with no issue and when moved to 4L, you could hear the actuator engaging but it timed out.
I had an exchange box that had known history, it solved my problem.
It was my intention to change the switch and sell the box on, once tested. It should be good for £300 after me spending £100ish on the work.
If you want to buy it as is, to either fit your box's 4L switch to and fit, or remove the actuator, for your box, Let me know.

I've looked for free hubs on store but cannot find them.. Any ideas on price for hubs and fitment kit? There seem to be ones on ebay too cheap for my liking!

The jimny is also in the habit of kangarooing in any gear , intermittently. Is this highly likely to be crank sensor?, i believe its quite common on vvt?

Hope all had a good Christmas. Jimny is off to garage tomorrow. I need to confirm if actuator is broken and if so will put a new one on. All I am thinking is at the .moment the green light is not flashing so does that mean that there is no vacuum leak? as if so it would flash? Or would it only flash after attempting to engage 4wd. ?
