take it somewhere else - or find out prices for parts and tell him to match the price or you will take your business elsewhere.

I bought a brand new front prop (albeit for a disco) for 60 quid. Not britpart but not genuine. Think it was allmakes. Undo 4 9/16 nuts at either end and the front prop pretty much falls off. Easy

You're going to be paying £400 quid for something that recently cost me _£10_, yes, literally ten pounds.. Obviously, I happen to have a vice and lump hammers and all the associated stuff which you want for changing a prop UJ, but still. Buying a whole prop shaft, and undoing the 8 bolts and doing them up again would have been a bit more than a tenner, but still wouldn't have cost £400.
I would recommend getting handy with the spanners, as this job would have been dead simple. If you don't have the time nor inclination to do that, then I guess you just have to accept that it's going to cost a hell of a lot to own a landy
- a lot of people do..

How much for a prop? Ask them just to change the uj's instead. Cost me 45 quid for my local landy independent to supply and fit both uj's to the front prop when I had the same noise.
Fwiw, driving with that clunk causes no damage to anything else.

Until it lets go! Then things get a tad expensive.
