Thread: Dealer telling lies about how to select low range?

Howdy,

I just put a post in the technical section and then looked at my clock and thought "Who would be looking in technical section at this time?". So I have taken the liberty of placing a link here from campfire cause I am picking up the car at 9am tomorrow morning and am wondering if the dealer is lieing , stupid 8O or actually correct [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] .

Sorry if this is not quite protocol but I am feeling desperate and confused ops:

I assume the Disco II is the same as the Disco I in this regard:

From the owner's manual:

USING THE TRANSFER GEARBOX

There are two ways of operating the transfer gearbox lever; the 'normal'
method -recommended for inexperienced drivers - and the 'advanced' method for experienced drivers.

Automatic models:

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, apply both foot brake
and handbrake and then move the automatic gearbox selector to the 'N'
(neutral) position before moving the transfer lever fully forward or
backwards to the required position.

Advanced method

Changing from high to low on the move:

On automatic models, reduce (or increase) the speed of the vehicle to 8 km/h and release the accelerator. Select 'N' and move the transfer lever quickly to the required 'H' or 'L' position.

Finally, reselect 'D' with the main gear selector and continue driving as
normal.


If it doesn't do that, get the dealer to fix it. If you fix it, you have no comeback if it fails.
