Ok guys going to be safe an take the propshaft off today until recon vcu is ordered an fixed in but do i take of the whole propshaft or just the front propshaft? An leave the back end on? Thanx guys

Not 100% on the vcu, it does feel tight when on full lock but its never too hot to touch.

Is it an easy fix or quite an expensive one? Sure my vcu needs changing too as the steering feels really tight when on full lock... I was hoping the clunking was just a need for new transmission oil change an filter lol oh the joys hey Thanx guys for such quick replies

Ill make a mechanic of myself lol after buying a torque screwdriver an going about taking the engine cover off i found a split in the hose on the underneath side of the elbow hose attached to the egr, looks like its been spitting diesel or oil an it wad quite sticky all around there, anyway...
