So I am either very unlucky or this is a major and regular issue!

 

PROPSHAFT UJ on my new aquisition failed! this 110 must be lifted at least 4 inch its so high! took her down to dartmoor for a trial before a long journey to Bulgaria in a few weeks and well i never, I felt the tell tale vibration near home on the M25, nursed her back in one checked out the UJ just now and sure enough she is as loose as a hoars knickers!

 

So for all those that say a double cardon prop aint needed i say Phuh!

Since you acquired this vehicle and threw it into the fray, did you grease the U/J,s, or any other routine maintenance?

 

Thought not......how's the timing belt by the way?????

Hi tony you need a wide angle UJ mate thanks Jon

 

Yes, afer trying to fit a 70mm normal UJ I had to phone Craddocks and it seems that I have a wide angle prop hence the 95mm UJ that I was trying to replace made the 75mm a loose one!

 

So lesson learned, grease, grease and yet more grease, then grease it again! done me a tube of grease doing both landies today:lol:

Your spot on, but then Im still in the learning phase of landrover ownership!

 

I have never been a mechanical kind of guy but took on the landies to educate myself in as basic a way as pssible, and have to say while chalenging me I am learning a lot, even started on the filling of minor dents today!

Want to replace and renew the swivel grease. The bolts for the drain and fill holes are square, do I need a special square spanner or can I just use a normal spanner?
