I'm a new 'un on here, have had a 300TDi 110 stationwagon for a couple of years. About the same time as money's been haemoraging from bank account...

Anyways, there's been a lot of noise coming from under the landy recently, first sporadic, then constant. There was also usually a clunk whenever I put foot on accelartor (this has been going for a long time.

So, you lot would have already diagnosed it, I have only just worked out what it was. And it's a bit late to oil the UJ on the rear propshaft now...

Question - Is it possible just to change the UJ (the rear one in the rear shaft) or do I need a whole new shaft? Apparently the rear propshaft for the diesel 110's changed somewhere around '94, and mine is the newer version. I've taken out the circlips that I assume hold the UJ in place, but nothing happens despite careful use of a hammer. I'm half expecting one side of the joint not to budge as part of the UJ but has detached and welded itself to the 'eyes' in the shaft.

Cheers
