Be polite, don't hide behind acronyms especially when they can be interpreted as rude, aggressive or sweary. BE NICE!

Apologies, however I thought/felt that was a polite reply, was meant more in jest…. Maybe it needed an emoji??

About 40 sec of effort on Google:
 

You can download the manual as a pdf, so should help the op with the specifics of the 4wd system as well as other aspects of the car.

Seems a lot of cowboy importers are popping up.
I bought the one on the Big Jimny video from Jimny Imports. It came with Jap reg document, owners manual (English) and a first UK service.

I have a welded front diff in my Jimny and I can promise you it drives a lot differently on tarmac to a standard Jimny in 4wd!
A Jimny is the same as any other part time 4wd. There's no centre diff so use 4wd on loose surfaces only.

I'm all for being nice.  100%

But there is also an expectation that an adult takes some measure of responsibility.  There is a certain measure of due diligence one should cover before plonking down tens of thousands of pounds.  One can certainly opt not to do one's homework before buying -- or in this case, even afterwards -- but then one should probably anticipate a little hooting from the gallery.  

All of which is beside the point of this thread, which I think has been pretty thoroughly covered by the helpful people on the forum.  Good job all.  @300bhpton, you are forbidden to use the "F" key for a bit.
