Requesting help getting Disco home, just 1 mile away from where its sitting on public highway, and any advice about how to repair.
Front Prop snapped on Discovery 2
In return for help I am willing to make available the use of a braked a frame to local landyzone folks when needed, and I will write a tutorial about how the problem thats happpened below is fixed, using what parts, photos, etc, and a phone number to talk any others through.
Can't get the bolts undone that attach it to front diff - sockets/ spanners dont sit flush.
Means Can't tow, because shaft flaps around hitting floor and chassis rail.
For some unknown reason, despite rear prop intact, can not drive vehicle at all.
Was trying to remove shaft, then tow the Disco on a braked a frame, using a Defender Ive bought to use until Discovery is fixed. Will sell the defender after Disco back on the road.
Not going to plan.
Anyone local who can help either get the shaft off so I can tow, or help in some way get it less than 1 mile home? Prob best not drag it as it is as despite snapping at only 20mph, already dented chassis rail and floor quite aggressiveely.
I'll also be looking for advice on how to repair/ what bits I need to buy as this is the first time I have ever needed to touch this area of the Disco so do not know what I'm dealing with.
Just need to get the Disco less than 1 mile to where I stay, also in Airdrie.
