sorry i meant the drive flanges on the wheel hubs, otherwise the diff will still be turning whilst he is moving and continue to make the same noiseErrrr.....dunno.
Won't all the oil **** out if he takes the pinion drive flange out?

original post was front diff pinion bearing, so removing prop only wouldnt stop the diff rotating when moving

Yep but personally I think prop is the problem as he's said since that it sounds ok freewheeling.
I'll suggest drive flanges to him if the pinion really is that bad

Thats what has made me think, if he first thought the front and only removed the prop, the noise/ vibration could remain. no point spending time refitting and removing the rear if the problem is with the front. Im sure pikey will have satisfied him self the front was the issue to start with. now im confussed lol

I got the message that he was with Ratty so decided that I'd be about as much use as a (enter your favourite simile here) so decided that I'd as well head back for home.
Quick swing across the road, smart reverse and back into drive. Nothing! Well about 5k on the rev counter but not a lot else. Pitch black, A37, middle of nowhere, dark coloured Rangie slewed right across the road. Tried everything in the box and got a movement in reverse. Now parked facing the wrong way. Thought, 'Ah well I'm all right for coffee.'
Tried everything in the box (even low range, it's stupid what you'll do when you're panicing) then the dash helpfully tells me that I've got a gearbox fault. No ****!! I'd worked that out for myself! Suddenly there's a jerk and I've got drive - of sorts.
Head for home praying that I don't get overtaken by a clanking 110 towing a tin snail, there are limits after all.
Time to talk nicely to Mr. Ashcroft I think.

Pikey re-fitted the front prop while I removed the rear (wheels chocked for safety reasons). We refitted the drum bolts and I followed pikey towards Bath for a few miles. Slight but of noise from the rear axle on one if the roundabouts at peasedown but that was it. Pikey was happy to drive on as he was with half shafts in place.
