But Bob's is a 200Tdi so then engine and gearbox are in a different place... approx 2" further back... so a Disco propshaft will be too short.

Bob, if you need a new prop, and want one suitable for lift try Kenson - Tel: 0121 505 3668 - they aren't that far from you in Wednesbury.
Don't think they do a double cardon one (AFAIK), but they do a wide angle yoke jobbie which should be fine. Being a longer front propshaft on a 200Tdi Defender, you don't usually need a double cardon affair.

If you speak to John at Kenson, you could mention my name.... but might put the price up :wink: :shock:

Just reading through this, and thinking about a problem a friend is having blowing front diff bearings. She has a 90 TD which has had a 200TDI engine fitted. Recently had a new prop fitted, and since then has gone through several diffs (Pinion Bearing gone each time) If the Props are different is it possible that the wrong prop has been fitted, and is causing problems. BTW the vehicle has a 2" lift.
