I didn’t manage to look under the car today, but tomorrow
I’ll check the switch during work, can eliminate that then.
Then I’ll check the vaccuum pipes, and look for evidence of the VC leaking.

If it is the VC, will it have damaged it?
Or would it be a case of repairing the leak/seal, and refilling with correct fluid?

Thanks again

Thanks for the help chris.

I’ve only had the car around a month.
I jacked the car up on one side this afternoon, and engauged first, released the clutch slowly, and both the front and rear wheel turned.

I hadn’t checked this before cleaning the switch contacts so thought it may have fixed the problem.
So I took the car for a quick drive, and it was still the same only 2wd.

I’ll check the switch tomorrow with a meter. And I’ll have a look at the vacuum pipes. Tried to find the reservior but couldn’t. I’ll have another look.

Thanks

Cleaned the switch contacts up. but will have to wait till tomorrow to test them with a meter.

Been reading about, and it seems the rear diff should clonk when engauging reverse, mine doesn’t do this, but the reverse lights do work.
Nobody seems to know much about the system.

I would be very interested to see the wiring diagram too.

I don’t really understand the diff freewheel, could somebody explain?
What would be the downside if pins 1 and 2 where perminatly connected?

Sorry if this is obvious, I’m still learning lots about the syncro system.

thanks for any info
