MOT yesterday.. passed BUT the disco has been ' vibrating ' at any speed over 60mph and im told this is the fault.. the front propshaft UJ, ive never changed one before , are they easy to do ? any advice ? also any idea were stocks them so i can get one delivered by the weekend ? 300TDI cheers

landroverkeith:
any good local motor factor will stock them if i remember correctly there were 2 types available when i had to change mine  :roll: and i had the wrong one first time

I found it fairly easy with the help of a friend pointing me in the right direction

need some circlip pliers (is that spelt right) and well i used a suitable sized old socket to knock the the new uj into place just do it slowly checking each time u tap

it was a lot easyer then it looked to get the old one out and the new one into its mounting on the prop

im sure someone else will pop in with some more details

Wolfie:
Not overly difficult. There is an illustrated guide on how to do it on LR4x4.

As to availability, whoever is your favourite parts suppler should have them in stock.

tomkbucks:
must admit - first time in a year ive had to buy a part for my disco ! normally pick stuf up at landrover events - any recommendations ? just called my local landrover place - they have them on the shelf for £21 is that expensive ?

I'd go for the Hardy Spicer ones myself.
