Great thanks for the advice.
The sliding joints on both prop shafts don't normally have grease nipples fitted. It's usual to find some flat grub screws in the holes instead. Just replace the grub screws with grease nipples and give them a damned good squirting. Then replace the grub screws.

I didn't bother to put the grub screws back on mine. I chose a pair of low profile grease nipples which I fitted permanently. They're light enough not to cause any balance problems and by using low profile types they don't foul in anything as the shafts are spinning.

I also found it useful to fit slightly longer grease nipples to the U/J's. It just makes it easier to get the grease gun nozzle to sit correctly.
Great thanks for the advice. I think I'll stick to the grub screws. It's a different thread for greace nipples I believe
 
Too right, very, very helpful forum. I wish I could be a world of knowledge to everyone on this site, but I'm only a DIYer when it comes to car repair. Thanks again for all the fee advice. Its very much appreciated.
The majority of us are only just that, "DIY ers", but everybody can contribute even if it is by their bitter experiences, questions, and haphazard solutions, never too old to learn!
 
YAAAYYY thank you so much you wonderful and helpful people. After tracking down a front prop shaft from a breakers. And struggling to undo eight bolts and nuts. Laying in a puddle under my car. I've managed to fit the new prop shaft. And I now have movement once again. I thought it would be more sinister problem. As there was no drive with the front prop missing. After all I thought I would have drive with the back axle. But with no diff lock that's a different thing altogether. So I guess when the snow comes and just one wheel spins then I'll be stuck. Anyway thank you all for your warm welcome and help and advice.

My disco 2 was fantastic in the recent snow. No centre diff lock but traction (talent) control...;)

Glad your sorted and bet you've learnt a bit more about your landy :) keep your uj's and sliders greased!
