I had a serious knocking from the end of the prop where it joins the engine what ever is in there is either badly worn or broken so have removed the prop not investigated it yet, is it a uv joint inside the rubber boot if so can this be replaced or is it easier/cheaper to get a new/used one. Thanks for ur help.

:search:think you might find the noise is coming from the IRD unit.

If it is the front prop U/J the whole piece needs to be replaced. I had to do mine recently on my 2001 1.8GS. Cost about £200 for prop but was easy enough to change. Mine was caused by the gator being split and getting full of crap.

Did you change the whole front prop or just the uj on the front prop? It Definatly the uj thats broken not the IRD thats noisy.
