hi mate. i'm in sunny scotlan

hi mate. i'm in sunny scotland too, nice snow at the weekend huh!
With regards to your FWH's...i've got a 4trak, which had auto hubs. The hubs were knackered and i've heard the auto ones are prone to stop functioning. I got some manual FWH's from milners. Ripped out the old autos and bolted the manual ones in. Hey presto 4wd again.
If that doesn't solve the problem it could be something wrong with the transfer box...the new hubs worked for me.

Good luck

I paid £149 (inc vat and delivery) for a manual kit for an F78 Fourtrak. It's a pretty straightforward bolt off bolt on procedure.
