Then the TD5 one WON'T fit, use the first one as it's for a 300TDi, failing that take your old one off and compare

Change UJ's just for funzies

The slider on the landrover 1 allows for bulkhead movement. The other (Ali) one is designed for disco/Range Rover classic. And don’t slide.

What’s wrong with the 1 you have? You can change the UJs, knock the whole shaft apart & clean it up. Just don’t paint the splines

Answer @Hicap phill s question please, what is wrong with yours, fooked is not a diagnosis

See sitting in traffic jogs my memory…
Now was that earlier defender shaft made to miss the turbo on early left hand drive LRs?
(That’s also why there are 2 flats in the turbo intake hose for the shaft to miss)

New versions have bigger/longer UJ.will need to remove all bolts to allow shafts to slide on splines if you do swap over.
Splines on boxes & columns are the same for all years

fooked is the diagnosis i can provide, joints are fine but lets just say it refused to budge so it might have been grinded off in half .. and i couldn't apply heat in the area due to the braided brake and clutch lines lol
