A couple of weeks ago it started to make a squealing sound around the 2000rpm like a loose fan belt or a bearing going bad in the engine compartment. I could only hear it when driving, and under load, if sitting still and revved the engine you could not hear it.
Finally crawled under it to adjust the hand brake and had a look around and saw the uni almost hanging out.
Now to put the prop shaft back in tonight - that will be fun by torch light!

Same noises in mine,on light load/coast only,1500-2000RPM

Cheacked it one weekend and fine, following fortnight no good.
Maybe 4 days in the sand with the diff lock on pushed it to far

So it's out and on the way to Preston tommorow

It has changable uni's on mine but i'll give to the experts.

Hey there jtn, here is something i prepared earlier. All part #'s are in the pictorial. Uni's you can get through British Motor Imports and Centre bearing through Hardy Spicer. Good Luck
