Are you using a genuine shaft or an "All Makes"?
Thanks for the great info.

Hardy Spicer brand I suspect, funnily enough the Britpart sticker is over the top of the 'genuine' dot punched part number...
We/ve never had an issue with them yet.
The other thing to do is to buy a used genuine one, and retube that. The unis are very high quality and last ages.

Slightly OT but I wonder how compatiable the TVB100610 is with an Isuzu County as a replacement for the front ?

Cool, that's good to know. I'm about to order one and was just finding different part numbers for pre/post 300TDI models. Given the transfer case is the same and is in the same place on my County (Isuzu) I couldn't see why they would need a different front prop.
