UPDATE!!

Right guys, after having a ponder underneath Iv started the car and the buttons ARE selecting 4wd as it should and the light no longer flashes - and 4L can be selected. So that seems to be working.

However on a test drive Iv noticed at 30-40 miles an hour there a humming type noise when I lift off the acceleration - and now noticed on a field that when I select 4wd, it still makes the grinding sound and doesn't move - 4wd light no longer flashing tho!

4wd light now comes on solid like it should and so does 4L which didn't before.

But the grinding noise and car doesn't move when in 4wd is something I cannot figure out.

Is there anyone that you guys would recommend that could take a look at it someone who knows where the fault may lie?? In the West Yorkshire area?

If so I'd like to have it looked at cos my local mechanics don't seem to know much about them.

Where abouts in West Yorkshire? I'm not a working mechanic but if you want a second set of eyes and ears and can wait until the weekend?
