Gear grinding sound(2H)

Hi
I went for a drive this morning and coming round a bend a heard noise that sounded like a car not properly in gear almost like grinding gears,together with little bit of vibration. I then saw the front wheels lights flashing?? I selected 4H and the sound was gone. But now if I take it out of 4H the lights keep flashing and there is just that little bit of noise?

My guess would be a vacuum related problem,either solinoids, hoses or actuator. Has anyone had this before? Will be checking a little later. Wil post some findings.
Thanx

jip. front diff is trying to engage.

either you have a vacuum leak or the solenoids are failing.

Okay,the solinoid with the yellow dot is not doing anything if I put 12 v on it. I will replace this week-if they have stock.
Thanx 4e

Got a chance today to get a new solinoid-was a bit shocked at the price,but after paying saw that it was both the solinoids-sold as a unit for just overR700. So that wasnt to bad. Fitted them and there is no more delay for things to engage, happens much faster now. I reckon money well spent :P O
