Grit Valve
2000 4.6 Vouge
Yes i've had both those symptoms on a defender and they came with pleanty of warning. also tractor PTO powered equipment that if pushed to the limit (with no sheer bolt protection)would spiral the pto shaft rather than the uj fail. It does look like the circlip, for whatever reason has come out and allowed the bearing cap to move allowing the uj to uncouple itself. The yolk on the prop has minimal damage and both bearing caps are still intact and sat in the yolk. Im keeping the parts to show our driveline specialist that we deal with, on his next visit to the quarry to get his opinion. Next question folks----will the airbag deploying imobilise the vehicle in any way or should it start up when a new gear selector switch is fitted? cheers phil
Cool was Curious , I have noticed the cheaper brand cup are almost a push fit
