just bought another one to the collection, (six at last count ) 1968 swb, not sure if its a seriies 2 or 3 till i get it delivered on thursday and see the reg document, its got a 200tdi and disco box fitted, i didnt hear it running when i went to veiw it but did notice that the angle on the rear prop is very sharp and i would have thought it to much of an angle to drive safely,

If motor in standard position then with a disco box rear prop is going to be real short. Got around this problem on a trialer by lowering the gearbox mount's tilting all for back, means the front
output has to work at a worse angle but it's length will help.

For a propshaft with UJs to work properly (without vibration) the output shaft of the gearbox and the pinion shaft of the diff should be parallel.
