Hi i have a 1998 XJ with selectrac that has pretty much never been off road - "city car"
Posting after searching the forum.
When i purchased her she changed into 4wd with no problems, but took a while to come out of 4wd with front wheel wobble in turns etc..
She has been sat for the last 6 months and i now have her back on the road.
Problem is when i select 4wd full time she makes a grinding noise for ages and if i make a turn it's if she is running over bumps. It's ages before she fully engages into 4wd and drives normally.
She is also now doing the same when i try to get back out of 4wd almost making it impossible to drive, (steering wobble on turns from the front etc).
She finally came out of 4wd after being sat for 5 mins with the engine switched off.
I know it can take a while before 4wd engages and disengages fully but i'm a bit lost as to where to start problem solving.
Kind regards
Dave
