just been down the motorway in my 90, was very clunky and juddery, came off the motorway and as i went to pull asway there was an all mights bang and loss of drive. rear propshaft sheered completely. just dropped the rear shaft put it in difflock and limped home. question is how long can i run round like this without causing any other issues? wont be able to pick a shaft up for a week or 2

as long as you want ,but front axle is taking all the load so be gently

As James said. I asked the very same question last week although mine is the front prop. Should pick up new uj's tomorrow and just hope the splines are within limits or its a new prop.

its majory sheered and bent, never seen one as bad. no where open until tuesday hence the worrying about driving round, my evryday car has let me down needing a new dual mass flywheel clutch and now the 90 has thrown a strop

I'd like to see some pics of your prop. Just to see the general condition etc. I mean, it must take quite some torque to sheer one.

I'm sure you'll be fine driving in difflock. More than fine until you can replace it in a couple of weeks.
