When this fred started they didn't offer the UJ for the v6. I don't know why. If it is the same part, then I can only assume the system told the dealership it wasn't, and therefore they can only go by what they see. I would have checked the latest info online at the time. It doesn't take much for something to be different on the v6. Length of prop is enough to make it a completely different part, even if it's only the length which changes. Supply and demand etc for a small number of different parts... Hence the price they fetch on eb ay second hand. It may be considered a rip oft but that's how it is.

It's been a while since the OP started the fred. Microcat 2010 says TVF100000 UJ is suitable for my v6. Previously there wasn't a part listed. Looks like it fits all FL1's. v6 front prop is a different part. Expensive too.

Regarding the boot, LR stopped making the service kit to replace just the boot and metal collar thin plate some years ago. We get replacements from dave mac props these days. Is this the one yer thinking of or has LR started doing them again? The original concertina type rips too easily.

I don't know why LR didn't list the UJ for the V6 as it is the same part for all models.
The CV boot is available as an aftermarket part.

As Hippo said - at the time of the OP, you couldnt get the parts. Both UJs and gaiters are now available.

I notice that LR direct state "TVF100000 - Propshaft Uj Frl1 Except 2.5 V6"

I’ve damaged the UJ bearing cover thing where the prop shaft meets with the vcu. Main stealer tells me they don’t sell the UJ separate for the v6 Freelander. You have to buy a new front prop for £350+vat, which comes with the UJ.

Anyone got any ideas on how to solve the problem? I’m concerned when I go off road later this month in Wales I’ll fill it with water/mud and cause problems with the bearings. I tried pushing the cover back on, but it's having none of it.

What a f*** rip off shame you don't life my neck of the woods, it looks like its made of tin I would make you one in the work-shop or re shape the original. That's the trouble living this far away from anybody, willing to help all where I can but live right down furthest part of the country.

buy the replacement uj
