Here are the pics of the plastic caps - the one with no hole is on the original wide yoke prop.

Hi Gcoo This is going to cost me a recon transfer box and the fitting of it, more than likely. It's Sunday and I'm trying to keep calm until Monday!

Hi Fanatic How do you adjust the pay at the centre diff? I would love to be able to do that to minimise the transmission slack I've got. Thanks

Have just closely examined the original wide yoke and there is no hole in the plastic cap at the short end which allows air to enter and escape the expansion chamber as the prop opens and closes - so effectively it was hardly working on my vehicle due to alternating vaccuum and pressurised...

Hello all I have had a long standing problem after a 2 inch lift on my 90. I bit the bullet and bought a custom front propshaft from a well known supplier. I gave the measurements at 68cm standing between both flanges. The supplier recommended a wide yoke and suggested in their...

Thanks for all the advice chaps. Yes I think 1.5 - 2K is the right ball park. Rightly said - he'll want it as cheap as possible. Sometimes Ebay can be wildly variable - I am in Ireland - not as many people want to ferry a vehicle home from here! I'll dig out pics and stick 'em up.

I have a tax exempt 1971 series 2a lightweight 2.25 petrol updated to a series 3. A local chap has called at my house and wants to buy it but I really don't know what to ask for as I had not planned on selling. If this list doesn't bore you - read on... It is not a perfect military model...

Mate, a pal had a Patriot Jeep with exactly the same symptoms and it WAS the CV/swivel. Was repaired under warranty as this is a problem with these vehicles. I took a wee drive in it to diagnose before the garage diagnosis. You should note more of a sound when you turn into the particular...

Hello all I've got a recon 380 box and new clutch in my 90 with heavy duty fork. Thing is, every time I switch off my engine, with the clutch depressed or not, I can feel a single 'thump' in the clutch pedal just before the the engine stops. What is that? I can't recall feeling it in my...

Well I hope your prop works as well as mine, Minty ;-)

Thanks Andy You're a fair punter :-) I'm sitting down. This will be a Christmas present from her indoors - bang goes the IPOD ;-( I took the prop off this morning. There is a line on the male shaft that coincides with the female shaft grease point. Any other combination will fit but...

Andy - the splines are gone and it will need lengthened to eliminate any issues of balance as the spacers effectively become part of the shaft and could be putting the balance out. When standing, I am getting a gap between flanges of 67cm.

I've done all the research and it has to be a DC front prop for my 2 inch lifted 90 - that way I am taking no chances. They all look so expensive! I have a Disco 2 second hand one but I have vibration - grabbing both ends of the pipe and twisting, I am getting slight movement - splines shot...

Starters on landys are notorious for sticking. There's a gear inside commonly referred to by mechanics as a 'dog gear.' Occasionally a little tap with a lump hammer can rectify this sticking so that the starter engages on ignition. I had mine recon'ed for 40 quid - looks like your bench work...

I finally got my new transfer box fitted (thanks to Jai) and the difflock etc all sorted out. With a 2 inch lift I selected a Disco TD5 double carden prop for the front, using the TD5 flange at the t-box end. I am now getting vibration. I had expected this special prop to remove vibration...

Hello guys - a great wee thread with lots of useful suggestions. I used the earth test to check my battery warning light - it came on. So my alternator is not charging but it is also not telling me! Don't you just love it when trouble comes in threes??? Battery done in, alternator down, and...

I am hoping to complete my beast by the end of the week. I'm feeling lucky - nothing has gone wrong with her this week! Spoke to Flandy tonight so you might get a wee call from him...

I saw a guy counting rivets on the front of a Land Rover at a military vehicle show. I din't notice any rings... but a man walked past and called him a 'ringpiece.' It get's scary at those shows...

Hello Jim Send me your email address and I'll get the full article to you. Cheers

Here is the text of an article I found after a search a few weeks back - thanks to the bloke who wrote it. Hope it's useful in your case! If you want the pics version I can email it. -------------------- TRANSMISSION SLACK As a Defender owner with some miles under its belt, I'm sure...
