Pop goes the propshaft....

Driving along at 70mph(ish) in the "overtaking" lane of the M56 the other day I lost my propshaft. Fortunately, I was very lucky in that the damage was minimal (mainly the propshaft and a few dents and scratches where it was flailing) although I admit the noise was buttock clenching scary!

I just wanted to post this to thank the mechanic who stopped and offered help whilst I was stuck on the side of the road. It never fails to amaze me the help that LandRover drivers offer one another! Sadly, I missed your name but thanks for stopping.

Cheers...

Matt

I don't know if it is common practice everywhere, but in my region (SW of France) I notice LR drivers often wave a hand when crossing each other, as do the bikers between them ...

Yes, that's common. It's landy love. Like vw love but more manly

We don't in Kent I've never seen such a thing in my 23 years of Land Rovering

Scary. my prop started clunking which made everyone look around. That was scary enough and I was only doing 5 mph.
I've heard people waving at each other in landy's As disscool said I not come across it apart from a nod maybe.

Funny thing though........Series always wave...... 90's, 110's, older Fenders, Discos kitted for off-roading mostly wave........never get a wave from anything that looks like its still under warranty

with Rangie and Gay... erm Freelander owners, its best to blow a kiss.
