think that looks as if its always been there - factory fitted :cool:

i have one connected to the ODB connection as it has a permanent live

Ordered the full set with grease nipples and centre bearing - £52 OEM :D

or DIY for around £3 go to scrappy for the cap (£2 for mine) and 1/2 hours time i suppose you could use silicone where i used the arraldite - i didnt have any to hand

Thanks - just read up on it and would need to investigate further - but its probably as you say not going to happen so its going to sit on the ramps till i get it all sorted and fitted back on

Whats a Diff? No Really Neilly I Dont think so :oops: Its not something thats fitted as standard to a TD5 from all that Ive read about the TD5

So now comes the really silly question will it run without this while i get it sorted?

Ahhh Heavy Duty -- Wondered why they made a High Definition version of a UV {Universal) Joint

Thanks - that seems to tick all the boxes:cool: as it wereo_O

@neilly @The Mad Hat Man ok so where do i buy these from and who do you recommend - also looking at the posts the centre bearing is a sticking point, do you know if its available to buy in the UK ?

thanks :D even tho it dont work -- the later link did tho

thanks - interesting reading:cool:

Oh Ball Locks:mad: stop takin the Pi55 :rolleyes: its a td5 2001 auto - { do you people not read my other posts o_O }:D:D

bled the brakes and found the front prop shaft is foo-barred so who has replaced their prop shaft UV joint bearings and is it an easy - ish procedure? also where are the bearings best sourced from?

it was reasonably easy to do remove the centre sensor - had to break the cap part to remove it I then drilled it out with a 20 mm wood bit - take care as it bites when it hits the brass/metal contacts once i got down to the cap i drilled out a 10 mm hole to fit the brass connection managed to...

Go to MegaBlocks:cool: But you might have to change it to a Freelander:eek: shame it didn't get through :( I would have bought one for the grand-kids (OK for me) :D

was planning on doing it today so got the cap and sorted the pressure fitting then the clouds opened & i thought F**k that for a game of soldiers it can wait till tomorrow:rolleyes:

well managed to get one off a Rover MG @Pawl thanks for the heads up

:cool: thanks will have a check at the local scrappy - ( PC vehicle recycler )

thanks will message you
