Having had a look at the weekend it seems my front propshaft needs work. I know you can replace the UJ’s but I’m thinking about just replacing the shaft as a whole. I don’t know what condition the splines are in but there’s plenty of movement in the rear joint. For the sake of about £65 and 8 bolts does it make sense to replace it all in a new to me 90, and if so is there a preferred one to get? No lift and on road driving (so far ☹).
I think I might be going down the same route as mikescuba and lynall soon. However, you might want to have a look at these videos before you make your mind up.
There's three in the series, but the first one should bring up the second one etc.

I like his videos, always clear and informative. I like that he uses Aldi digital calipers too, I don't feel so amateurish now!
Lying under the Landy I can't see any movement in the splines. Might be different when I get the props off though! If the splines are still good I might go for four GKN UJ's. Keeping my fingers crossed splines are nice and tight
That's a good idea, it's my daily drive so can't have her off the road for too long. It would be good to get one rebuilt with no time pressure as a newbie spanner monkey.
Thanks guys.
