I believe they are the same...the 94 and 98 are both 300s arent they?

I'm pretty sure that it will fit.

If not, remove front prop and put the transfer box in diff lock and drive around on the rear prop. Be careful tho as a rear wheel drive Disco could get 'interesting'.

thanks guys thats great. yeah. they are both 300s

that will save me quite a bit and means i can get back on the road sooner

Very! Our back prop fooked itself so took it off and drove in front wheel drive.... Had wheel spin coming out of a junction

all i really need to do is try to get it outside my house as the AA recovery truck had to put it a bit further up the street. then we can get started as soon as the propshaft comes. trust it to happen just around the corner from my house at 1130 last night. dont think im popular with the neighbours :S haha.

Use the centre diff-lock and try to drive .. if it knocks badly then stop .. you're likely to fook something up .. take the prop off and try to drive again (with CDL on) and get it home.

Centre diff lock will send drive to back as well as front, so you can drive it for a short while at least.

we did try that yesterday, but there was loud knockin and the propshaft has wedged itself, lol.so we are gonna be removing it tomorrow. i hope the new one arrives soon. iv had to borrow my uncles car and after 4 years of driving land rovers, im finding it hard driving a zafira,lol. but im very greatful to him. im lost with out my landy lol.

which end is broken as you can slide it off if the axle end is broken as theres a slip joint nr the trans-brake

metallicachick86 · Dec 12, 2009

its the gearbox end. the ball joint literally just rotted away. :s but the previous owner lived on a very muddy farm, and underneath it was covered on mud, so that cant really have helped. :s
