Which pipe or pipes do I block up

Just use some sealant or instant gasket between the freewheeling hub and the car.

Without seeing photos of your pipes I'm not sure what you have on your car. Fooling the electronics is fine for the light but make sure you don't have a vacuum leak.

Just tried the scotchloc method of shorting across the two white wires and success Thanks Riccy. Now onto putting on my manual hubs. They are designed for the Jimny so no messing with spacers etc Am I right in thinking I just remove the old vacuum hubs and slide on the manual hubs.

Thanks Kirkynut The new hubs are on and all seems OK. A massive thanks to all those who offered advice to get me sorted, I really wouldn’t be sat here now with a beaming smile on my face and more importantly a Jimny with full
4 x 4 capabilities again without your help

Your welcome and I'm glad its sorted.

If you are going to be hopping between tarmac and non-grippy surfaces (like going between green-lanes), it is ok to leave the manual hubs in 4x4 and just put the transfer box into 2wd and back to 4wd as needed. The front prop, diff and half-shafts will be driven by the wheels, leading to slightly poorer fuel consumption. No damage will occur however (as long as you put it in 2wd for grippy surfaces) and it saves you getting in & out of the car at every surface change. At the end of the trip, flick the hubs back off for the drive home ;-)

The reverse of this can be used to get 2wd low-box, which can be useful for maneuvering trailers
