Thanks in advance

I think the noise is OK , if it is only for a very short time and if 4WD(-L) is only used on slippery ground.

You could have a look at the wiki, there you find explanations what happens when you press the buttons and also some valuable basics in offroad driving.

FIrst of all - NEVER drive in 4WD on the road or other firm surface, it could break the 4WD

The clicking could be a couple of things...

1. Vacuum hub failing to engage properly
2. CV Joint broken

If it does it when turning, mine was caused by a knackered bearing.

3. A dry CV joint that needs greasing.
