4 motion/Quattro Setup

Hi all.

I have being told or heard somewhere that the system is set up 60/40 (rear/front) if this is true can you change the percentage of drive to the front or rear?

Re: Failed the MOT this morning

Me and a mate had to use a grinder to get that bolt out on mine... cut it in half and then used a blow torch and a punch to get it out. If I was about in the Gate I would offer my services!
