I'm sure someone told me that if you can bash it off a kerb or a rock it will jump out of it, but if that's not true I stand corrected.
Worth a try?
...Or a wire has got knocked off a solenoid sw?

So even though it’s in 4wd you will just be turning the front diff and shafts and not the wheels?
It could then be driven to the garage.

Also when removed push the splined collar back and re fit start the car and see if they clunk back to 4wd mode
Have a look for broken wires on transfer box

A Jimny with appropriate tyres will go places in 2wd that most permanent 4x4s would fall over looking at. Get it fixed, stick with it you won't regret it.

But then you said this...
Sounds the same as third world country to meMattch5150 wrote: we live out in the sticks I never go truly off road but have flooded, mud filled, icy roads to deal with.
Matt you sound quite bitter and easily defeated by this; the Jimny is relatively easy to work on and you will not find an online help resource as friendly and helpful as this forum.
On the other hand, the Panda - a very capable car when hasn't got bits falling off it and some unfeasible electrical debacle, there is no specific forum that I'm aware of.
I'm sure if you get that small fault fixed you will find it perfect for your situation;
I don't off-road mine either - like you I live in the sticks with crap roads that I have to negotiate at ridiculous hours of the night and morning just to get to and from work, and its a big part of the reason I opted for Japanese reliability... Every make will break if it isn't properly maintained.
Prevention is better than cure.
