Right, went to the Boconnoc Steam Fair today and bumped into the geezer from Tamar 4x4. He said he's 90% sure he's got a prop on the shelf, if not he can get one delivered tomorrow afternoon.
My Son works at Barbican MOTs in Looe and can fit it for you.
So, there's options if Wesward Recovery want silly money.

Ok, waiting on tomorrow am and the response from the place where the recovery took me to then.

Cheers for that.

Umm, can you recommend if there is any one single lube to use, or do I need at least two, and barrier cream too?

Are nitrile gloves the best for both?
Or do they need a wash after?

Aye,

sorry for the late response. Had to do some holiday stuff with wife (in the sun too - we went for a walk, sorry to dissapoint all the other readers, whatever they were thinking??), then just turned computer back on.

Rang the garage this am about 09:30, they said "ah, we been overran over the weekend, get back to you this pm".

They did at about 16:00 with a reasonable ( I thought at the time) "you can have it back tomorrow at noon for £83 for the shaft which will arrive tomorrow am and £70 for the labour" .

So once more thanks for the offer and help.

..and I would have suggested to the recovery man barbican, but would he have listened?? as I am sure they have their drop off's sorted.

cheers

That price is OK for the shaft, provided it's GKN not Britpart.
£70 is a bit steep to fit it though - should only take 30min max with a lift and air tools.

Not quite steep enough to justify towing it 10 miles to another garage though I suppose.

Yes, I was thinking about the tow charge from there to here.

But you were fast on the reply. I was off for a beer and some crisps....
