You were correct. The rear UJ on the prop shaft was buggered - they fitted a new one in an hour and I was back on the road 
As for DIY - going to try and fit some new front discs this weekend...hmmm I see a new thread coming on
....and yes the house is in a right state
Cheers

just out of interest how many did they fit and how much did they charge ?

£6.50 for Hardys, that's a product markup of 800%! Coulda got a whole new propshaft and fitted it, with the labour it would have been much cheaper and better!£38 for a part that normally costs a tenner isnt bad i suppose
oi dunt be upsetting the poor chap he's just happy cos he didnt have to sell his doris to get it his landy back

Sorry James, dint mean to make you feel bad! Get some tools. The whole propshaft is only about £60 and it just bolts off and on in about 5 mins and that replaces the ujs both ends and the shaft (in case the sliding splines are worn) - or just replace the UJs for 6.50 a pop, which is slightly more technical but still relatively easy.
Did you have mecanno as a kid? It's like that only easier (and bigger and generally rustier) If something breaks, unbolt it, whack it a few times with a big hammer and bolt it back on.

I have one, came with my 110. Fairly useful, but i would suggest asking on here if you aren't sure! As i am sure you are aware, the haynes manuals assume the car is new and not at all rusted at all anywhere, so reality can often be different.

Does anyone have some quick to find links to these? I have a haynes that came with my first landy, and would like something a bit more, err, practical?
