Hi bought an l200 4 life 06 plate the other day. I bought it knowing there were transfer box problems. The first time I used the 4 wheel drive the other day, I knew it was sticking and not flowing through the box like it should. I pushed through 4 high then followed with 4 low and the vehicle came to a stop. Changed to 4 high had the same problem. Only working in two wheel. Unable to move the transfer leaver now? HELP
Thanks

Did you do this on a dry road surface ?
If so roll the vehicle backwards ( presuming you drove it forwards in 4WD) you will have wound up the drive shafts..
Or just jack up one side at teh front and then do the same at teh rear, when lifted release the handbrake and reapply before setting the truck back down off the jack..
Hopefully you have not done any major damage..

Thanks for the advice I have tried this. But to no avail. Any advice on map sensor needs replacing?

Dip the clutch should allow the release of the 4wd shift, when you say 06 plate is the old or new shape as that was the changeover year, if this is a classic there is no Mass Air Flow sensor.

New shape, I've dipped the clutch still no luck. Just put a diagnostic machine on defiantly map sensor. Unsure where to find or how to fix?
Thanks for this!
Also I have it booked in next week to take case of the transfer box is this the best approach?

Have you gone thru the workshop manuals to try and see if there is a diagram for the transfer box

Read the attached, it may help
[[File:trans lever (1).docx]]

Where can I get the manuals bud? Sorry I'm bit new to all this!
Thanks

Just a thought when I bought it I was told the previous chap was travelling on the motorway at 70mph and slammed it in low. Idiot! That's all I can say!
Thanks for all your help! Will have a read!

I'm sure I've read that there is a plastic collar somewhere on the transfer box lever that can break and cause the lever to jam. May be worth popping the trim off to see if there is any damage.

I guess we are talking about the easy select system on the newshape here and not the super select ? Lez, Rich is breaking a classic mate so prob no good unless they use the same transfer box do they ? I guess they might I suppose ? anyone know if they do ?

Apologies I missed that, read the post too, no excuses, missed it totally...
Thanks With Apology Tendered...

Hi sorry been unable to reply Internet went down. It is the new shape and it's also 4life. I dipped the clutch still no luck to be honest. Just to confirm it is an easy select. Sorry about the delay.
