LRII 2001, 4x4 transmission auto,constant wheel drive confussion

This is normal - Neutral=No drive, same as in a normal gearbox.

This is normal. All Landrovers since the early eighties have been full time four wheel drive. This adds a little to fuel costs, but if this is a serious concern and you are doing mostly city driving you would be better advised to get a two wheel drive car. Even in city driving full time four wheel drive gives surer handling in slippery conditions, making wheelspin much less likely.

LOL

That's normal and why it's called 'Neutral' :)

That's fine, "Neutral" means "no gear", the stick you are using is a second gearbox, called the "transfer box", and it has two gears, "High" and "low". If you put it into neutral, then it is like your main gearbox being in neutral.

The LRII is different, it is always in 4x4 mode, this is normal for road driving in the LRII.

You do not need to worry about that with the LRII.

It is normal, only way to fix is to sell the vehicle and buy your suzuki again!

Those little Suzuki 4wd's - favourites of female airline cabin crew.

Really? I must buy one and hang around the airports!

Well, he wasn't a native english speaker, so not *that* fair re language.

wasnt he? his email address is a .au which would make him an aussie which would probably make his english better than your average english person! :)

Well, his anglo-saxon at any rate!

And the soft-top ones - favourites of gay male hairdressers.

And give him an IQ on a par with the average boiled potato. :-)

most people in the UK tend to bundle NZ and Aus together...

Which is not a good thing, but you're nowhere near as bad as the 'Merkins for such unfair associations.

they're all antipodean...

And Wales is just another county in England (a view widely held here).

Note to self.... Be sure to buy only a hard-top.

Advice - Don't they are permanent 4WD now!

someone posted me something from America and the USPS don't recognise "Wales" as a country.

I had a jeep with the 2/4 wheel drive option. It made very little difference to fuel consumption.
