Seems like some are getting replaced, don't have to wait for the banging/hole.

I would put more pressure on LRA/dealer to replace at next service as it is being done elsewhere.

If only mine was a military vehicle in France and Pakistan. :(

Get it dirty then give it a tap with a piece of pipe (similar diameter to the prop shaft). Bob's your uncle. :wasntme:

Rock damage is not covered by warranty.

Trivetts at paramatta in sydney. They are all cheap jerks but I just told them that the bulletin said damage could happen if I was doing serious 4wding and I plan on doing that so they need to change it.

And the response was when it comes in for first service we will change it then, no hassle just need to order the **** in.

Here is the Technical Bulletin issued by LR...

thats ok as long as they are prepared to recover our car should anything go wrong at kakadu;)
