    The Perentie does not have a dual mass flywheel - this is fitted to the TD5 engine (1999-2007 Defender).

    Is there something wrong with the one that's in it?

    Aside from rusting out it's pretty good.

    Got new uni joints overnighted to me today, they sent good GKN jobs.

    Can't tell if these are standard or heavy duty ones - research indicates standards.

    In either case they have to be better than damaged ones.

    inspected uni joint myself tonight and it is indeed buggered - about 3mm of play.

    I'll be replacing all four for good measure.

    Also discovered one spring a touch shoter than the rest, so they are next on the hit list, as is a grease gun for the tool boxes so I can grease the uni joints in the field on longer trips.

    Indeed it did, and aldo solved some other squeaks, rattles, and my downshifting trouble.

    Everything runs like I'm floating on air... with a 4L desiel in bed next to me.

    Replaced both uni joints on front shaft, rears looked like they had been done recently and were in very good cond, so greased and left in place.

    Looks like all my issues boiled down to a single blocked grease nipple.

    I suspect I may have put one of the front uni joints in backwards, and now have issues getting the grease gun on it.

    Sounds normal, I've filed down the head of my grease gun so it fits.
