Actually the guy i bought the car off told me it was replaced recently, I will however test it. But my question is, can a V6 VCU be fitted to a 4 cylinder vehicle?
My recollection is (don't quote me though) no one really knows what the difference is apart from the lack of a damper but regardless don't trust it. Lots of people buy cars with no propshaft and no idea why it was removed. they then buy a used one and fit it and suddenly find out why it was removed in the first place when things go bang.
 
I bought it as a non runner, what went bang in this case was the bit inside the gearbox which connect the IRD and LH drive shaft. The gearbox has now been replaced however as i was refitting the propshaft i noticed this VCU issue.

If it's not overly tight it'll be fine regardless what it came from but you can't trust it until you've tested it.

I thought they were always removed for fuel economy purposes? ;)
