Thanks!
I plan on keeping it as a toy/project for the foreseeable future so I want to do it as best I can!

I was just reading through the start of this, you said on your first one you gave it a new clutch.
Why was this?
Coz mine is making truly horrible noises when you take off.... think it might be the clutch, but I'm not sure
If anyone else has tips please PM me because I don't like the sound of it and it needs to be dealt with straight away!
yeah okay.
Um well if you take off to vigorously it makes loud clacking sounds - not good
You actually have to slip the clutch and take off at a snail's pace so it doesn't do it.............
So now people have notified me of the propshaft problem, I have searched 'Upgraded Land Rover Discovery 1 Propshaft', because you may as well upgrade it when it brakes! Anyway, I have found that there are at least two different types.
1. A Double Cardon Propshaft
&
2. A Wide Angle Propshaft.
(whenever I type in Cardon it comes up with spell check, Cardan. Cardon with an O is how Devon 4x4 have spelt it.)
What is the difference/pros and cons between them?
Thanks, so the double cardan prop would be better suited to weekend 4wding as well as driving on the road?
Don't forget if it's only a prop joint (uj) then they only cost about £15 and about an hours labour if ya need to get a garage to do it!
Foz about has it sussed really, double cardan joints were on the front of a d2 for harmonic reasons and some people say they help a d1 when lifted. Wide angle props are expensive to some people and let's not forget that land rovers are known for prop joints, just cos a joints gone it doesn't have to mean the props knackered.
I would investigate further first mate and see wots wot

I have now checked the prop, and I'm guessing there isn't supposed to be any play in it at all?
Because I can turn it with my hand from about 9 o'clock to about 11 o'clock.
The tail shaft has no play in it at all.
Is it best to replace it with an aftermarket item or can I get away with another from a scraped Disco?
Has the actual shaft got something wrong with it or is it the Uni Joints?
