I have been searching for some new UJ's for my disco 2 Td5, and have noticed a massive difference in price, from about £9.00 for an aftermarket part to almost £80.00 for a genuine LR part. Why is there such a huge difference.

This is really easy to answer:

1. Land Rover don't make U/j's but do sell the Original Manufacturer parts in an LR box, so obviously it's worth loads more money

2. Buy a real quality U/j part from someone like Lemforder, GKN, Hardy Spicer or similar. Must be brand-name not just sold as OEM.

As above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, and when you do get one, grease it often, every few months at least, more with heavy off road use, and you will never need another one!

On the subject of regular greasing of your U/Js; it's worth the time and trouble to find some slightly longer grease nipples than the ones which are normally provided. They will make greasing a whole lot easier in future.
