Or just do a full-lock turn with synchro on - If the wheels don't chatter like it's got a locked diff (shaking the whole car), then the xfer case isn't doing its thing.

There is a chain in the transfer case. Awhile back someone had issues with that.

Obviously take the car back !

Re a foolproof test for 2wd

Jack the whole rear of the car up off the ground with a decent jack from the middle rear. Make sure the jack wheels are pointing in the same direction as the car wheels.

Put in gear apply the throttle a small amount . The rear wheels go round - if the awd is working the car will edge forward . If they dont its in 2wd mode

Tried this today as i was changing my wheels anyway. Jacked up the rear, had a piece of 100x50 (4x2 to you) in front of the front wheels to stop the car rolling away, eased the clutch pedal up and gave it a little gas and it tried to climb over the timber (although I already knew the 4wd was working).

But yes - first take the car back to the workshop that had it last!
