Hi All,
Guy at work just bought a 1994 v8 Range Rover.
His 4WD gear shift displays a diagram in an 8 pattern,
with L at the top right, N in the middle right, and H at the bottom right. The manual says to place it in the H position for On road and off road driving. Is this correct? Does this mean its constant 4WD?
Also in the top and bottom left position it has the work LOCK what does this indicate?
Having never owned one of these any info would be greatly accepted.
Rgds

Try www.aulro.com for any questions about these or other LR products.
At least there you'll get something resembling the truth!
Alan.

Are you sure its a Range Rover? Not a Discovery?
Because a 1994 Range Rover does NOT have this arrangement.
A 1994 Range Rover has a viscous coupling which self locks when it detects a difference between the front and rear axle speeds, is constant 4WD. The transfer selector has only 3 positions H-N-L.
If it has a figure 8 arrangement , someone has fitted an LT230 transfer from a Discovery. in this case one side is without the centre diff locked nd the other is with it locked.

Pretty basic really.
Constant 4WD with High or Low range,
or Centre Diff Lock with H or L range.

It is permissible to run the Land Rovers with this transfer case arrangement in low range without locking the centre diff - in fact there are a few years production of the Disco II without a locking centre diff - they rely on the traction control. Running in low range without locking the centre diff is great when
parking a caravan as you get better throttle control (and less clutch slipping with a manual.)
