Hi the rear UJ shattered, can I just put it in 4wd and remove the rear prop and drive around in FWD for a few days until my new prop arrives? Will it break owt? Cheers Myles
Front wheel drive series after removing rear prop and selecting 4wd is it ok to to temporarily.

Cool thanks, do you reckon it will make the car even more of a handful to drive? Increase wandering etc? Sorry for all the questions

I once had auto engage hubs on a series 2a,horrible things in icy conditions going in and out all the time.
With a rear half shaft gone driving in front wheel drive was like driving one of those 2 stroke Saab's,when you took your foot off the power it would just free wheel faster!
