Not sure what vehicle your referring to about priming it, but assuming perhaps a TD5 with it's vehicle specific procedure, putting the transferbox into neutral is a bit more standard across numerous brands and models though...

Since I wasnt with dad at the time, I am not 100% certain, but I tend to believe what my dad tells me (call it old fashioned if you must).

Dad even asked the RAA guy what he needed to be in, and the RAA guy said just the auto trans in neutral.... nothing said about the transfer box..... Dad has only had the vehicle for 13 days.... this being his first Automatic 4WD.

This is now a mute point as the engine is stuffed, which is another story all together.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Cheers
