    Hi Deesse,
    Having put the cv boot on as an after thought seeing how much grease was been thrown out, I would have just packed the boot with a good cv grease, clamped it all up and I bet this part would not require further attention till maybe you replace a clutch or some other reason for removing the t/case.No more clunks thru drive train so far. Look forward to the Canning S R in May!!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had this shaft problem. My decided to go completely 2 days into a three week trip! Complete loss of drive. So after a $1100 tow back to Perth and dropping it at a mates workshop had to load everything into the Freelander 2 and continue the trip..

    Meanwhile I ordered and had fitted the Ashcroft shaft. No more clunks from that part! only thing I have now noticed that pulling away feels like something is out of balance with some vibration thought the car. Anyone else had this with any shaft replacement. Could it just be something else needs looking at that I wouldn't have notice before due to the bad shaft? Maybe I will get the driveshafts balanced anyway to eliminate them.

    Was talking to a LR workshop today about the MT82 adapter, apparently the adapters were supposed to be mated packed with something like lithium grease. Unfortunately there were a whole batch where this step was omitted in the assembly process and the joint was left dry.

    There is apparently a service bulletin on the issue.

    Still the Ashcroft modification looks well worth the cost.

    Does the service bulletin state which vehicles had the issue, years/chassis batch?

    Jeez I wonder which ones were not greased. Got my first service coming up and wonder if I should press LR to check. .?

    I can say my 7/7/14 build was not greased
    apparently a subbie doing the wrong thing and LR QA not picking it up,
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Every one of these i have replaced ( and there has been lots) have never seen any lube from new. I doubt it was a random act during assembly it just wasn't on the list. Full stop.

    From observation i would suggest pulling it and packing it with a good moly grease before 20k is a good preventative measure.

    If you want to buy the LR recommended grease it is available in Aus from Associated Gaskets. The name of it is in the owners manual. They shipped it to my door, can't remember the price but it was under $50 for quite a large tub.

    Well, I "think" the intermediate shaft was my problem too, but sinse Gracie was returned to ULR on the back of a tow truck, after losing all drive, I have yet to hear from ULR to confirm the actual problem,...I've spoken to Bernie (TOP MAN) the W/S manager, & I expect to hear from them this week.
    But this has been a BIG wake up call to me. All I can say, if ya've got any"clunking" going on, don't just take it for granted, "ah that's just Defender",...GET IT CHECKED OUT.......much better than getting stuck out on the road.

    I had my transfer case out a couple of weeks ago as per another thread. Mine has done 210,000km, the splines were bone dry and there was evidence of fretting corrosion, but wear appeared minimal. I put it back together with some moly grease.
