So my propshaft has been dying for a long time now, big clunks and stuff. And now its finally given up, managed to limp it home a mile very slowly, which felt like going over a cattle grid all the time.
Anyway I don't think a repair kit is in order as it looks like its damaged the actual propshaft casing bit too.

Money is kinda an issue here, and was wondering if anyone has ever tried These cheap ebay shafts.
Even if it only lasts a few years that wouldn't be too much of an issue, but if it falls apart in a few months then.. Or any other recommendations?
 
If you do buy a replacement front prop, get one that has grease nipples on the double cardan joints as well as the slider and single U/J.
Give it all a good greasing before you fit it, you'll find it a lot easier to do.
 
I brought a new front prop from a company called firow propshafts about 6 months ago, it was a simmilar price to the one on your link, although wasnt for a landrover it might be worth a phone call re price for comparrison. Its not been on long but iv had no issues yet and no sign of anything wearing or getting hot etc. Quality seemed good and was fully greasable with warrenty. Made to whatever specs you give them length, strength, angles etc.. may be of interest. Im going to get my rear from them when time comes.

In that case, maybe this is better.

Down to you to investigate.

Why for God's sake cant jgs4x4 clearely show what's the brand of it ... i hate that "Bearmach / Allmakes 4x4 Or Similar" thing ....cos if it's let's say Allmakes it's 99% made in china while that from aapoldham brand "Elite" is made in Singapore, http://www.elitedriveshaft.sg/home/about-us/ but at least they are fair enough to tell the brand ... i'd go for aapoldham one if i was to choose from those two but not my case cos i replaced mine two years ago with hardy spicer

Just to update this on what I went for, I opted for the aapoldham propshaft, it does have grease nipples on the UJ's and slider, and it has made it feel like a new car. As far as I can tell it seems well made but I guess time will tell.
 
Just need to use this thread for this as it seems the website is going a little funny and can't make new threads right now.

Soo, I'm changing my clutch cylinders and noticed the pin which slides through the pedal assembly and master cylinder rod is quite worn and loose. I can't find this part anywhere or is it something you just buy at a shop universal? Any help appreciated or the old ones going back in
