Its clicking as I take off and I picked up a replacement - used to come only as a propshaft and uni combo but now LR do the uni by itself. Off to Fraser this week, so couldnt be bothered chasing around a greasable one. I will route the drain tubes away before the new one goes on and I reckon the sealed unit should give me a lot longer life.

Bugger...my unis are fine - no play at all in the cardin or in the greasable uni...dont know what the noise is. The rubber boot is torn so I will replace that. Could be axle splines or diff I guess....
Cheers
Thought I'd just update this a little.
We have now been through 2 hearings in the courts and Land Rover have tried to dismiss it on both occasions.
The Sheriff last time we were in court has set a date to go to proof (Final Trial) as Land Rover at the 1st hearing failed to lodge any answers with the court.
On the 2nd hearing they tried to have the case dismissed as an irrelevant claim, they failed at this also and we now have a final date set.
I'll keep you guys posted.
Regards
David.
I've got a 2003 D2 with 65K but am finding when I tow my 2T boat that it's starting to shudder under acceleration recently (last weekend). Have ordered new prop shafts with greasable uni's through my Brother outlaw which will be a this weekend job under the hoist. A/C outlet hose already re-routed.
