Just to let you all know, car now ok. put new prop on a few weeks ago, then just had the warning lights to put out. With big helpfull advice from DATATEK, ALL IS NOW WELL !!! Once again thanks for all the advice best wishes Phil

There not that complicated ,once the prop is off you just need circlip pliers and a press or a good strong vice. I have done quite a few especially on dump trucks and loading shovels of which some tend to be bolt on units , but smaller vehicles and pto powerd machinery all tend to use the same...

Thanks datatek, that sounds like the best option. please let me know cost for plugin if you dont mind sending me one. My car is a dhse 2001, if you don't have part no to hand dont worry i will strip down the console to see! . With all this done will it take away the srs light and airbag message...

Hi all, car been back together a few days now , seems ok up to press, although still i'm very weary of the slightest vibration!. Next hurdle to cross is getting the srs/airbag warning light/message clear. If i fit a new controler and another seat or airbag will that clear the faults or does it...

don't worry, one close shave is enough for me thank you. cheers for the info phil,

propshaft tool and new bolts on the way, would have been here today but snow put end to that! "Datatek" i guess if the car starts then all i will get is a srs warning light ? Will all the other srs items be active or dead untill the srs ecu is replaced? cheers phil..

Yes i've had both those symptoms on a defender and they came with pleanty of warning. also tractor PTO powered equipment that if pushed to the limit (with no sheer bolt protection)would spiral the pto shaft rather than the uj fail. It does look like the circlip, for whatever reason has come out...

i aint been in years ,maybe i should go once in a while!!!

It was greased just before christmas, i did it myself !!. I'm a fitter in a quarry with 40t dump trucks i know how important it is to keep ujs greased, i think the missing circlip could be the cause . Who do i ask for when i get to the local church??? Cheers phil

just a couple if pics

thanks for all the advice, quick look this morning showed a circlip missing from the propshaft yolk, could have come out during the incident, or may have caused it. i was under the car on thursday fitting new trans cooler pipes and made a point of giving the prop a good workout, but all seemed...

AA winched it on to the flatbed. with no grating or hesitation from the drivetrain, all wheels n propshafts turning as wheels rotated with no problems. cheers phil

Cheers , lucky for me we had some poop bags in the car

Greetings all, where do i start? coming home sunday night, doing about 60, suddenly a 2 second "light vibration" large crack, loss of drive and a jingling from under the car. Tried to slow down in a controled manner when suddenly there was a dredfull bang and immense knocking...

I see, the link is to the one that you know of and which i should get, you have used one the same and it worked a treat ? cheers phil..
