hi guys.....your mission....should you choose to accept it is......tell me the part no. for a front propshaft.....my disco 2 is w reg..2000.the last vin. no`s .areYA261121....she`s an auto(makes a difference apparently)diesel,rhd,5 door,td5 gs (one of those millenium special editions)as far as i can work out it`s either...TVB000100...OR...TVB000220...your help will restore my faith in humanity................?...cheers tim. :frusty:
 
I have an '03 TD5 auto and the shaft was TVB000220. Cheapest I could find was my local indy Dingocroft who supplied for 290+vat.

Paddocks and Mail Order 4x4 both do them for under 300.

Buy before the 22nd! VAT goes up!
 
Meant to say... remember and get a set of new nylock nuts and bolts. Should be well under a tenner.

...And the TVB000100 is the manual box. I believe you can fit it, but need to change the output flange on the transfer box, which I guess you don't want to do.

TVB000100 Front Propshaft - TD5 to 1A715923
TVB000220 Front Propshaft - TD5 auto from 1A772047

In terms of TD5, the only difference between early (£159+vat) and later (£295+vat) props is route by which the grease is introduced to the sliding yoke at the front end. On the early one it is via a temporary grease nipple, on the later one there is a set of bellows factory filled with grease and sealed.

So, it would seem to be perfectly feasible to use the cheaper front prop on a later TD5.

If the Mad Hatter is right, and the TVB000100 fits, then you can save yourself £140. I'm not sure why it's listed as manual box only. But the TVB000220 is the OE replacement for the later TD5s. Unless LR are even more useless, you'd have to think the later shaft would be a better design? Maybe less prone to the double-cardan failure.

I am now confused as mine is an 03 td5 auto and i have all previous receits and it hasn`t had a propshaft but according to this it has the early prop. Grease nipple but no bellows, i know it doesnt make any diffrence as its working but when did landrover change them?

So did the propshaft fit I have a facelift td5 disco auto on a 53 plate and the props snapped and I wondered if the earlier propshaft part number tvb000110 would fit my truck ?
