that yellow knob
« on: April 08, 2007, 11:00:08 »
:evil:  right now then the v8 has been standing since i bought it in july at billing except for a 5 mile trip to the new house mmmm and she did sound nice running heheh

Anyways i now cannot get the 4 wheel drive selector to stay locked down  :evil:  is it just a case of keep working on it with a can of wd40 and some muscle ??  i can push it to what i would consider all the way down with some fair resistance but just keeps coming back up.

also i have twin tanks fitted under the seat box and when switched to the passenger tank it leaks like a thing with a lot of holes in it lol the guy i bought it off told me it needed a new line connecting but on inspection its leaking from back of the switch at the jubilee clip... ive done it up pretty tight but to no avail anyone have any very helpfull ideas :) as its technically summer now and i have a need to drive to work in my v8 gas guzzling smelly old landy lol

I know sounds silly, but if the red lever is towards (low box +4x4) you the yellow will not stay down.

If red is away from you (high box) and yellow still pops up then the linkage is probably at fault - you might see it under the driver side floor.
