Just got back from driving the 90 to the Alps and I'm now in Devon near Salcombe. I have to leave tomorrow to get my boys back to school, which is 220 miles to get back home but just checked the front prop shaft's (rear) UJ & it's really floppy.
Anyone know how I could get a UJ in time? Never replaced one but have access to a big vice and tools here at the farm.
Thanks, I've a 2001 Td5 90.

Like he says^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^! Or if you have time, wouldn't think you are far from Brookwells. Google them, you could probably pick up a UJ first thing in the morning.

The AA sorted mine when it failed on a roundabout in the middle of a city! Got the parts from Keith Gott in Alton.
