    Discovery 2 Propshaft Failures

    Guys,

    Final bit of help that I need to ask for.....

    If your propshaft has failed, can you please post answers to the following questions:

    1. Is your car a TD5 or a V8?
    2. Is yours a Manual or Automatic?

    Thanks in advance.

    Also, If you don't mind guys, can i trouble you to post the information as well.

    Regards

    David.

    David,
    I think this failure depends on k's ,extremes of off road use and time, raised?.AND wether the air con unit has been dripping on it.

    After hearing of all the problems with these unis, I replaced mine with greasable unis before there was a problem and grease the unis regularly - every 10,000kms or more ofter when wet. This has been in the vehicle for about 150kms now. (about 1 hrs work and under $100)

    Mine was eight years old with 110000kms on the clock when it happened. The water dripping from the aircon on to the hot UJ eventually washed all the grease out.

    It failed in my old D2:

    1999 D2 TD5 Manual
    Failed in 2007 @ ~ 215,000 Kms

    Caught before any damage and fixed pronto

    I have already pro-actively replaced mine in my new D2.

    At around 220000ks.Already was aware of the issue.
    No damage at all,picked it up before it failed.Must add I have a 2" lift that must add to the problem.
    Replaced with greasable uni joints that I belive should have been factory issue.
