Ok so its a 95 300tdi, 2" lift, 235/85/16 M/Ts all round, winch and bumpers to suit front and back plus rock sliders, I have had it about 4 months and drive it hard off road every weekend as its all free here
today was out playing in the mud and snow and had to pull out a pal in his long wheel base Patrol from a wet hole, as i was tugging at the kinetic for the third time i heard a nasty cracking/snapping sound from the front nearside, once he was out i proceeded to drive slowly out of the forest in difflock as it was either 5 inch snow or 12 inch mud all the way out, once out i released difflock and sure enough no drive.
whilst coming out through the trees on lock to the left there was the ominous sound of a fecked CV and intermittent drive and grip from the front nearside wheel then nothing then crunching then nothing and so on and so on for about 2 miles, i had to force it home on difflock for another 10 miles or so,
So i know its fecked but my question is, will it definitely be a 24 spline cv i need?
it is a 300tdi but its an early one at 95, i really want to order one tonight so i have it for tuesday the latest as the weather is forecast to be down to -20 here soon and the disco comes into its own when the real snow starts to fall.
Any input appreciated, even the inevitable **** taking, gonna strip it down in the morning and check it is just the CV thats gone, and yes i have done a :search: FFS thanks, just want to hear what folks have to say on the subject.
