What was included in that? Always interested in cheaper places. :cool:

Eyeore - thanks - great advice and always good to learn more.
Shaft joint is actually not too bad - its pretty filthy and covered in grease and will probably survive a little longer, the local garage has done a grand job of dismantling it for me and they have a bearing "ninja" coming to have a look to see if he can source the "UJ with a hole through it" to then rebuild. Its an interesting exercise and should be a good lesson to me (and others) to be more generous with the grease gun - but then it could just be anno domini anyway.

That's a HOOKE'S joint. When I worked in the motor industry, a Cardan joint was the double UJ/CV type joint.
But then I suppose it gets called different things in different places, like a Birmingham screwdriver.

Hmm - done some research for Hookes-

Doesn't help get it repaired - but does educate me!

The third one doesn't look identical to the one you pictured above, so perhaps it's not a stage 1 V8 prop after all :-k
Propshaft specialist. I'm told these aren't the srt of joints you want to takle at home anyway.
