    Got a spare 4wd

    Ive got a spare ute so dont need it for a day. I can get the same as tom wood here in Perth 5 grease points etc and they are only 5ks from my place. Now if i was down the beach and had to get home yes i would drop it out lock in the CDL and drive home.

    Just so I don't feel left out.....

    Over the last month or so the Discoverange (D2 mechanicals with Classic Range Rover body) was becoming slightly rough on accel. The driveline also had developed a "chirpy-chirp" on coast over the last few days. Sound familiar? Made a mental note to stick my head under to see what's up on the weekend.

    On the way to work at 5.45AM there's loud bang and bad vibration. Limped back home.

    DC front uni had broken it's cups. Wish I had read this thread before!!

    Went to Burson's and they sold me 3 greaseable uni's for $23 each. Thought this is gonna be easy. Guess what? wrong uni's.

    Question: Where in Melbourne do I get 3 uni's on a Saturday morning without having to hand over a vital organ?

    Cheers, Wozz

    P.S. Have engaged CDL manually and it drives SOOOOOOOO smoothly now without the front shaft fitted. Must have been going for some time.

    Hope you were as lucky as me and no collateral damage...

    Just took a small bite out of the DC carrier. Fitted the new uni's this arvo and all is sweet. The car has never driven so smoothly in all the time I have owned it. Must have been going for a long time.

    New one this week

    Lucky WA owners can get a repacement /exchange shaft from kevin at Rover tech Jordan for $600. I replaced mine this week took 30 mins to do during my lunch break. The shaft is rebuilt by a local company using greasable unis that are machined and fitted with larger needle bearings. I am very happy with this unit the disco is smooth as silk again.
    I am sure they could send them over East if required ,a bit easier than getting one from the States. Unlike Julia Gilliard I think we can do things better here than they do in the USA anyday.

    Just wondered....Do they have a greaseable centre bearing as well?.... Also woods arent an exchange unit they are totally up-spec, custom built extended shaft and having seen the product understand why they are so highly rated for extreme performance/abuse both states and elsewhere..

    Not sure how it would be easier.... send email order/phone... pay... receive item...

    Sadly I do have to question " I think we can do things better here than they do in the USA anyday.".....

    Postal service being 1) As...Think it would be more a question of postal time!!! Still waiting for a part from sydney ordered 2 days before the usa supplied part!...
