If it goes again, jut put it into diff lock to get you home. Sounds like a dodgy set to me - have you talked to the people you got them from?

Britpart is a false economy (assuming that's what they were of course 
)
)i did try and replace both 1 held on right side and 2 new 1s blew on left side so had to put one of the old ones back on and it seems to be holding for now, am starting to think i need the genuine cv joints from landrover and they cost fortune, And heres me thinking if i got landy my troubles would be over at least i had go on the other 4X4 i have had, this truck is turning into total nightmare, has this ever happend to anyone when replaced with new joint.

how old is your landy though? Have the genuine ones lasted from new? they've gotta be worth the money. perhaps you can get 2nd hand genuine ones? I'd rather buy them than buy a lesser quality.
the landy is 03 plate with 64 thousand miles, i would say both were genuine cv joints, just want to get out in it.
