Transmission Control Unit, can it be fixed whan bad, or shall I save some money for a new ;-)
Hi Heine, You need to do the self test, that Phil posted on the European Forum. This will show a coded number, flashed on the Power light. This number will tell us what the trouble is. It could be the Clutch solenoid in the back of the box, but as the "Diff Lock" light does not come on, I think it may be something else. Do the test first, and we can go on from there.

Yes you can still drive the car, but you must try not to spin the wheels. You still have both front and rear wheels driving, It is just that if one set spin, the other set will not drive.

To help you start off with out spinning the wheels, you may try useing the Manual button on the shift lever. This will start the car in 2nd to reduce the power to the wheels.

Follow the procedure that Phil posted, to find the cause.

All the best.
Harvey.
