Bad Vibrations
Jeff J J:
Thanks Mobi one to think about for the future there. Jeff

One of the reasons the doughnut fails so quickly is that the prop is supported on a spigot bush that fits inside a rubber lining. If that lining is worn it doesn't support the prop properly and the doughnut has to take the strain. It will quickly thrash itself out even at fairly modest ride heights (MY LSE is lowered 1").

I too suffered a similar fate , but it went unoticed until the drive home after the Birthday Bash.
Could only tow the caravan at 45 on the M1 because of the vibration and the machine gun noise
underneath as the flanges batterred the bolts.

Hi Jeff
A quick look on e bay found some 200 tdi props for £20 to £30. You will need the rear diff flange from a 200 though. If you give Vince a ring (07970668091) He might be able to help you out. He has a farm on the Barry to Cardiff road and has Land Rover spare coming out of his ears !!
regards

There are an ever increasing number of 200 series dicos in scrappies nowadays - there are 2 in my local one - one of them is going to be donating its prop and flange soon for the princely sum of a tenner - I've got new U/J's to put in it so job done.
I've got some really big cracks on my donut, so I'm keeping an eye on it for now, fingers crossed! :shock:
