Hi chaps, strange fault has developed on the p38, its a diesel manual box, when you let off the throttle im getting vibration through the car seems like its related to the drivetrain as its a steady shudder rather than a fast vibration, im guessing its the U/J's on the prop shaft, would this cause these symptoms? Not sure if this is a way to test this but if you apply the handbrake when the car is still moving a little it bounces backwards and forwards 3 or 4 times, im assuming due to slop in the drivetrain?
any advice appreciated.

It will be one of the UJ's. Mine did the same. Front Prop shaft UJ was completley shot. Ended with a new shaft, now back smooth again.
 
Still not had it done as the specialist isn't open, however 2 more problems,
have a squeaking noise when driving sounds like a dragging caliper almost a ringing noise, but doesn't go away if you hold the brake so i know its not that, while looking underneath to try and locate what was causing that i noticed the cv boot had gone what are they like to do on these p38's?
