Have to make a slight adjustment tomorrow so hopefully finish it then. Oil change next....... it goes on and on.........

Thanks chaps, I do have the 9/16 propshaft tool as I have changed or replaced u/js in the past. Update the weather was not perfect but managed to remove both propshafts. I was expecting the rear to be worn but it had no play but the front propshaft had a v small amount of play at the gearbox...

Thanks wammers and all for the input, if the weather holds tomorrow will swop over my spare propshafts (good u/js and from doner cars over the years) for the existing which have been on forever! be interesting to see condition - can only really see condition with them off, suspect they need...

Just watched a Utube video on fitting some aftermarket propshafts to a heavily modded Defender. The point made was that the slider of each propshaft should be to the front of the car. So on a P38 the rear propshaft slider would be close to the transfer gearbox flange and at the front the...

How many miles? V8s are ready for a camshaft and timing chain after 80/90k. Also do a compression check.

I would love a heated steering wheel in a P38 as often driving in Scandinavia in winter! Yes it's a good idea to carry some emergency inflation valves, I still do, I used to offer these commercially years ago until some ba...s copied my system and even, to rub wounds in, copied my instruction...

Pleased for you. Glad you found the problem.

Does sound like a flex plate, hope its not but would advise you get it checked out before driving the car. When mine went the toque converter moved forward and its bolts were all that enabled the car to move. A few more miles and untold damage !

Vinegar and newspaper. Could even fix a bullet wound in the Napoleon Wars! I use a nano windscreen cleaner but don't breath in the fumes. Works great inside too.

Had over the last few years several (5) various P38/Classic Range Rovers with mostly engine probs, all too expensive to repair for road use, never spent more than £300 on any and sometimes much less. Latest offer is a 2.5 diesel offered £500 as its a good runner just waiting. For the money you...

It's Spring and everyone is having small bonfires to clean up the garden, bet you went through the smoke of one stinky. Used to be a brickworks along the old A1 and that gave off a deadful smoke, you could see cars down the road with their bonnets up thinking their cars burning up!
