So I took it into Barth Brothers today and they plugged in there diagnostic machine. We found a fault code saying something like invalid message from transfer case (I can't remember exactly what it was). Now I must admit, no matter how embarrassing is I can't remember if I was trying to put it in High Range properly (by putting into N first).
I'm saying this because I'm not sure if the guy cleared the fault and then it started working or if he just put it in Low Range the correct way, because I only remember trying in P and not thinking too much of it because I was getting no error message to say you're doing it the wrong way!
The guy also said that you have to clear the faults before they will go away, is this true?
So don't I look stupid! Either way its working though. Very happy! Especially when I didn't seem to stuff the module after taking it apart many times over the passed couple of days, hopefully the duck tape works although I'm not sure how it will fare with the heat coming from the motor.
Cheers everybody for helping! It was much appreciated!
Good news that its all working properly again. I suspect you already know that the duct tape will turn to sticky goo when it gets hot. Replace it with some race tape.
What is this race tape you talk of? Never heard of it before!Quote:

You've just described duck tape. But that still turns gooey at high temps.Quote:

Pic attached of Duct Tape.

Cloth/ 100mph tape eventually turns sticky and crumples up then peels off in a heated environment as well. But it lasts fifty times longer than duct tape.
You can see reinforcement in that picture of tape you've just posted.Quote:

But regardless, the tape with cloth in it (no matter what you want to call it) still doesn't handle high temps.
There are metal foil tapes that do.
Must have posted the wrong pic (one I found on the net), as no reinforcing in duct tape.Quote:

I saw a pic of a Pajero with gaffer/cloth tape once, trying to protect his car from scratches....it would have done more damage than good I would expect. It does tend to leave a mess after time.
