Yeah I would be taking it straight back to the Workshop in question !

No sense paying $$$ and having to diagnose their stuff up yourself ! Screw that for a joke.

Just out of curiousity- how can you tell you dont have front drive? I thought most of the time the Stag woudl give most of its power to the rears and only put power up the front if the rears slipped

I'd be doing as little as possible and just take it back to the same workshop. Dont give them a reason to blame it on you (ie. if they can see you've been fiddling around since they worked on it).

Hopefully they are able to fix it up. :D

Yeah no way a RS-Four stag should do that with less than 300awkw (and then, would be at all four). Sounds like somebody forgot to re-fit the front driveshaft. It could be dangling (:thumbsup:) so get it checked out ASAP!

if i put my foot on the brake and plant the foot only the rears spin, weather it be on concrete, bitumen, or grass/dirt. even if the synco button is pushed. as MIKE has said, you need to overcome the brake force on the front for them to spin. but if i load the car up without using the brakes all four will dig a hole lol. i helped a mate pull his navara out of a dam he got bogged in, only time i've had all fours going, i was on grass/dirt and had the synco lock on.

more to your problem, id be taking it back to the workshop, they may have left something unplugged or damaged something whilst working on your car. don't try an fix it yourself, if its a big(expensive) problem that they have caused, and if there is evidence that you have been trying to fix it yourself, i don't think you will have a leg to stand on trying to get them to sort it out and in the end, you will be out of pocket fixing it.

what workshop you go to ?

if they like there rep going the way it is, best take it back and get them to work it out.

there's been known workshops that have 2wd dyno's and forgetting or no plugging shit back in after dyno'ing AWD cars

Obviously take the car back !

Re a foolproof test for 2wd

Jack the whole rear of the car up off the ground with a decent jack from the middle rear. Make sure the jack wheels are pointing in the same direction as the car wheels.

Put in gear apply the throttle a small amount . The rear wheels go round - if the awd is working the car will edge forward . If they dont its in 2wd mode

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
