    How to disengage, Stuck center diff lock?

    Further to Steve's explanation, also worth noting that selecting the Low ratio gearing will automatically lock the centre diff (and enable you to manually lock the rear axle diff). You can't operate the Low ratio with open centre diff... it locks and iirc, the orange centre diff dash light...

    Height control OFF indicator won’t go off

    Kieron, if that 50A fuse is fubar'd on your vehicle, I can let you have my old one which i know is ok. When I deleted my AHC recently, I removed the AHC pump/reservoir and that fuse.

    Timing Belt advice please.

    Off the top of my head, the belt change interval is 90000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes sooner. For the relatively small cost of a belt, I would certainly change it as its been 5 years. My own experience was similar, as I bought the car with only a few thousand miles on a cambelt that had...

    Fog lights front - Are Van Wezel worth the extra price ?
