Knackered rear diff vcu or IRD.....If the prop is off buyer beware. Plenty of good ones out there.

For the record. Removing the prop saves so little fuel, it's almost undetectable. As others have said. It's normally because the VCU has stiffened up, damaging the IRD or diff.

Doubting Toms. These are all genuine sellers selling perfectly healthy cars that have had genuine unfortunate incidents with their prop shafts.

If you prefer not to believe them, hang out for 1 with props attached, and assuming it hasn't got a 2WD IRD, you to will probably be dreaming up a genuine reason why your props are removed sooner rather than later
