2WD or 4WD

[Hoss]

I think my Esti is a 2 wheel drive but is there any way of telling without getting under it to look for sure? Are there extra gears/ gearlevers etc ?

Drive round a corner fast in the wet, see how far you drift. If the back of the bus ends up in front of you its a 2wd

HI , sorry i havent got back before now (wife won:t let me have go) ours is a 4 w.d .at 50 mph its doing 2200rpm the speedo is 2mph out at 40 its doing 38 the o/d comes in at 46/48mph hope this helps carl

At 50mph it's revving at a smidgen over 2000 - could it be 4wd ?

HI, HOSS, the easiest way to find out lift pass seat as if you are going to dip oil look at starter motor, if theirs a prop shaft right under it then you have a 4wd you carnt miss it the center bearing for the shaft bolts to the starter

EamonEmina is a 4wd... dunno about revs to speed though, I'll have a look when I'm out.

Mine is 2WD, manual transmission.

It does 21MPH per 1000 RPM, so 50 MPH is 2380 RPM and 70 is 3333 RPM
