cheap!! is as best i can do at the moment, i am afraid i use it every day and i cannot have it off the road to long, beggars cannot be choosers. Did think about getting refurbished originals but was worried about getting fooked up ****e!!

Thanks again everyone. Bede i did not see your post until tonight shame, I have ordered both front and rear props, thought just get the bloody job done. Got both for £150.00 delivered made by "allmakes" anyone used this brand??

Cheers allmakes come up cheap but don't seem to have a bad rep you heard any different?

Cheers bede I take it just keeping a close eye after every trip on the uj to make sure it is not about to fall off I had a last look before it got dark and I reckon the rear prop yoke will be shagged before to long so I reckon it is new props front and rear fook anyone ever use lr direct

Bloody hell only started clunking two days ago. Surely they are meant to be built to last not clunk and crash fooking hell. How the fook am i going to get to work.

OMG is it that serious? I am all right to drive until i get the bits for next weekend?

Quick question what to do first rear UJ,s or front prop and is it worth buying refurbished props of eBay

Fair point live and learn looks like the end result is two new UJ,s and one new prop fooook... Thanks for all the prompt help though.

so not broken, just needs more regular looking after!!!

True......

Pumped the prop full off grease as suggested its stopped a lot of the movement no movement when holding both yokes, could it just be a case of not enough grease in the prop shaft ie my fault or is it broken?..

Anyone??

When rotating it i get about 20/30 degrees of slack which i am assuming is all right going by other threads, when shaking it up and down there is a play at the join where the spline go in about 5mm or so had a good look at the UJ,s and there does not seem to be any play but would i need to jack...

Cheers Lanny man. One question sorted anyone have any thoughts on the Prop?

I have now looked at many a previous thread and before i go and buy the bits i just want to make sure i have got it right!!!!! First problem. Clunk from the back metal on metal. Had a good clamber around shook the prop up and down solid no play, so i am assuming prop is ok. Rear UJ on to rear...

in my opinion not a lot on a Defender, but made a lot of difference on the series i bought it for, then sold very quickly when found it was proper rotten!!

Gasket changed so far no leaks thanks again.....

300TDI manifold gasket made by Elring purchased one for my Defender which got lost in the post, so they sent me another then the original turned up!!! So have a spare. Cost £5.85 plus postage of Fleebay. If your happy to pay for postage plus £3.00 you can have it.

always digging around trying to find a oil leak that was on the inlet manifold also for ever tinkering around in the engine bay took it off one day and could never really bothered to put it on again. Got used to the noise now!!

Anyone want a noise killer blanket for a Series/defender? It is used but still in one piece. It was only on and off the engine for about a month but got bored of taking it on and off and has sat in the garage ever since! For those that do not know this is a link to it...
