Hmm. Don't know. I suppose with the front wheels no longer powered, they won't have any wheelspin so the traction control shouldn't suddenly grab the front brakes. Hopefully someone with more of a clue will jump in this thread!

Hi all, me front drive shaft has just thrown a wobble, have taken it off just until i get me new one.
Any reason why i cant drive it for a few days???
Just wanted to be sure.
Regards and Thanks
I'm assuming you mean the front propshaft?? Unless you have centre diff-lock you will get no drive through ANY wheels.

Hi Dave and thanks for reply and yes you are correct, no drive at all, have done a bit of research and went under the car with a 10mm spanner and turned on my diff lock. (cant believe its fitted and all bar fitting a cable we could all have diff locks).
Anyway, can i damage anything with having to do 300 miles before i get the new prop, trouble is i live in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks for help guys so far.

The key to doing this safely is to drive smoothly and don't demand too much of the engine. Bearing in mind that the engine's power is usually split between front and rear diffs, you'll need to be as light as possible on the throttle if you don't want to break anything.
