There were no signs just bang............. Mine is a Disco D2 2004
Has this happen to anyone else ?

Yes Ian, unfortunately it has happened to a few on here, but is quite rare. Usually a visual inspection during routine servicing can give you a bit of warning, but not always. Bit like the front tailshaft
