new to series landies red and yellow levers

I'm amazed (given how quickly i got caught by the posting police) that nobody has mentioned the excellent guide on the sticky post en-titled

'ear! wots all dem levers for?'

Which expertly explains what the leavers are for and how to use them (to be in motion or not etc.)

Mine came with free wheeling hubs already fitted. They stay engaged though.
for one I think that they do bugger all regarding fuel efficiency when disengaged although I've a funny feeling that the purists will argue otherwise, secondly I aint getting in and out the Landy to turn the buggers on and off.

Have to agree with Wesley regarding the fuel thingy, although I am convinced that mine runs quieter with the hubs disengaged. That said mine too are always engaged now. I was running around N Germany at Christmas and the fisrt time I really needed 4x4 i had to get out and engage the bloody hubs in a raging storm on a road packed with nutters jack-knifing their trucks and sticks their cars in ditches (heavy snow and a white out). The only time I may disengage is if I'm going on a long motorway run.
