Just a big thanks to all that have helped me. I'm still struggling but at least appear to have found the fault. All I can presume is there is either another split pipe somewhere or a blockage. My plastic t piece to join both tubes seems good but I'm still stuck in 4wd. Is there any way I could drive to the garage even slowly and without turning too tight. Also if I use a syringe on the separated tube would that unlock the hubs. I'm a nurse so have access to some good syringes. Despite my fears last night I do live the jimny, I've done lots on it but this has stumped me. If a garage has a vacuum tester would that help?. Thanks again you are all awesome!

Its a bit confusing reading your problems. Vacuum issues usually mean it will not go into 4wd. For it to be stuck in 4wd usually points to the transfer box on a vvt Jimny.

However if it is the hubs locked on then simply unbolt them and remove them. You can then drive to the garage

It's frustrating as I'm not far from you but stuck at work - had this been during my 'off' shift I could have come along and helped out - I've got a small selection of metric tools that would have covered the job.

Let me tell you I could not do the job of a nurse - I can imagine the "shoe on the other foot" and you trying to help me through some horrendous medical procedure I'd be really stuck; out of my depth and in need of a change of underwear!
I take my hat off to you for having the tenacity to try and sort it out on your own. [smiley thumbs up needed here]


IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

It made me Ill with stress eventually. I love mechanics. This us just so frustrating. I will drive to garage tomorrow in my nice honda civic . I will ask if i can borriw his hex keys and then get it down there. I really thought once joining tubes up it would fix it but no!!

This is the confusing thing. The vacuum is used to pull the hubs in to lock them. If you have a split hose in the vacuum system the hubs would not lock as it would suck the air from atmosphere via the break/split hose. So in theory they should not be locked. Just as a side note, It does have vacuum hubs and not manual??

It's been fettled just a tad.
