Full Time 4x4 Lux

Found a Lux today that I'm Keen to buy, but it's full time 4x4 and that isn't something i'd heard of before.

The question is, was full time 4x4 standard in a lux or is this vehicle likely to be an import?

Normally as a rule I drive with the lights off because it's too easy to leave the lights on and end up with a flat battery.

What gets me though is the number of cars and trucks that drive aroundin the fog and rain without lights on when I can barely see infront of my bonnet.

They can't be too bad. The pier at Beauty Point uses a similar set-up and the ads talk about big industry using them.

I was low on fuel and was going to call in and get some diesel anyway but when I did the lights stopped flashing. Is this some sort of warning that I'm just about out of fuel or could ...

After the VW was burnt out we decided to cut the roof off. Yet to take it off road but we are waiting to see if the roll cage will stop it from completely folding in half.

And the reduction hubs, witch are ment to be filled with oil, are filled with grease.
