Hi All.
I got my 04 Ranger stuck in some mud the other day. I had loaded it with far too many fence posts and with it's huge turning circle I ended up going too close to the boggy bit of my field.
Well, the offside wheels sank in to the mud whilst the near side remained on dry land. With the gearbox in 4L the off side wheels just spun but the nearside wheels just stayed stationary.
So, I couldn't find a diff lock button, either on the dash or in the handbook, does the car have an auto diff lock or does it not have one at all? if it does have an auto diff lock why did it not kick in when necessary?
After removing the posts and with a bit of shovel work and some pushing we got it out ok, but i was a bit surprised by the lack of diff lock.
Any ideas?
Cheers
