Front wide angle propshaft is rattling and I can see play in the middle, so time to replace it. This one was already on there when I bought the landy.
I'm struggling to work out which type I need though.
Originally a 1987 90, it was eventually upgraded to a 300tdi and disco 1 front and back axles added. I replaced the rear prop a couple of years ago but at the time I didn't know I had disco rear axle, so ordered a propshaft labeled "Defender 2.5p, 2.5d, 2.5td, 200tdi" and it fitted fine.
This time round when replacing the front, a little bit more knowledge of what's on my landy, has given me more to worry about. Do I just order the same type as the rear, or should I be ordering the "defender 300tdi discovery 200tdi 300tdi version"?
I'm wondering if the difference is not at the axle/diff end, and is instead at the central end, and therefore the earlier type is still the correct type, just like I accidentally got right on the rear?
And ideas?
