This is definitely not a rattle or minor vibration! If i go over 40 i think the front axle and transfer box will disintegrate! No where have i found a definitive statement that the yokes should be offset. Ive found posts stating in line, 30 deg and now 45deg! More help please! thanks steve

Hi Treworgy - I always value your opinions! vehicle is not lifted - bog standard, ujs free to move and splined joint well greased with no excessive play. My understanding is that ujs in pairs should be in phase - I googled the subject last night and there are certain threads that say the rear...

Latest Update - marked existing orientation and took shaft off, dismantled and spline marks were in alignment (yokes in line) so why do i have severe vib above 40? In desperation ive even tried turning the splines 180 deg - no difference. The uj cups all appear symetrical in the yokes and...

thanks thainy - ill pull gaiter back in the morn and check - just so dissapointing that ive replaced the joints and made things worse! steve

i did do a search but the results are a bit misleading - one says inline, another says there should be marks under the gaiter. im pretty sure i re aligned as it came apart - thought i might get some useful help from landy drivers

def didnt knock any weights off - should the yokes on the main shaft be in line or at 90 deg? steve

Hi all - had a prob with a clicky front prop - have just replaced both ujs - clicky now gone but now have horrendous vib at 40 - 50 mph! - what have i done wrong? steve

i agree with Aidie - mine does the same thing if my handbrake isnt pushed all the way down - shoes just touch the drum in the transmission brake and it comes to a stop like a kangaroo! Check that the handbrake mech is well lubed and that it clears when fully released steve

Hi Group - Ive always thought the rev counter on my V8 read high. Today i removed it from the dash and guess what - its stamped up 6cyl! 2 questions will the indicated revs be showing 33% high or 25% high? What should i consider the rev limit to be and max advised contiuous revs? many thanks

thanks Gents - the diag and pics are almost identical to what I have - so presumably this set up in the top of a 20 gallon tank of four star is considered safe?

Hi Group - this question is loosely rover related cos i tow my boat with a 90 and its got a rover V engine! Ive always been a bit unhappy with the fuel gauge sender - its a simple float affair with sliding contacts onto a coil to give a variable resistance. My concern is that this is mounted...

Hi Dave - yes ive got all the usuall backlash probs but this is a loud click click click! steve

Reading though various posts, the noise made by knackered CV joints most fits my symptons but mine does it in a straight line too when under heavy load - do knackered Cvs do this? thanks steve

Damn - thats not good news - did you ever find out what part had failed and if its repairable? Once up to speed mine seems to run nice and smooth. I fitted this one about 3 years ago - off fleabay its 1.22 ratio and i thought it was a good buy!! steve

Hi all - i have a problem that seems to be slowly getting worse. I have a loud "clicking/clunking" coming from either the front axle or transfer box particularly when under heavy load. It does it both on lock and when strait ahead. Ive check prop ujs (one has a bit of play and will be replaced...
