Default change of propshaft makes me stuck in low box :(

Hi
i had a problem with my front propshaft, i thought it was the hardy spicers, but turned out to be bearing in middle of propshaft.So ordered new propshaft and fitted it.. Thinking car would be fixed but was then stuck in low box, (must add that i cant change it manualy as as the cable is broken, so left me being very congused how its stuck in low box)

changing your prop shaft would not cause gears to engage ... need more info on this ...

I booked my car in to a local garage to get propshaft problem fixed. To end up with a high/low box proplem

I have had problems before, as my abs and hand brake lights are on always as need it put it on computer after changing wheel hub sensors.

Its left me very confused. my high low box cable is not attached as been broken few years ago.

Is there a switch or something that the garage has moved or something that can has been adjusted. please help

looks like they manually shifted it somehow ...( high /low ) so you have to shift it back

if fluid is low in the reservoir the light (Brake )will come on ...

and if a speed sensor is bad the light ( ABS )could come on as well

its will be technically difficult from this distance , because if the fluid is low, the brake pads may need to be replaced , the sensors will have to be checked with a computer scan ... and a mechanic will have to shift the gears

so best bet is to take it to a nearby auto shop ...
