Title: Prop shaft
Post by: paul-unny on April 21, 2007, 22:07:25

Hi all. Just visiting from the Suzuki Forum ERM.....
On my way home tonight i stopped to help a fellow 4x4 er at the side of the road.
His front propshaft had sheered off after a bit of swearing I managed to get the 4 nuts and bolts off and then followed him home.
My question is..
Is it safe for him to drive around only powering the back wheels and where can he get a new front prop from..
Range Rover 2.5 td 'n' reg
Thanks in advance..

Yes it's perfectly safe, especially on a Diesel.  It can beinteresting on my LSE 'cos it's too bloody powerful to be FWD and tail happy as a RWD :shock:

But driven with care nothing will break and the car will drive safely, if a little differently.

Some folks recon the steering is heavy as a RWD, things like that.

Propshafts, well try any of the specialist breakers, Paddock motors in Matlock, my back garden, the wanted section on here.

perfectly safe if he drives sensiably, you might be able to find a new prop of that bidding site (ebay) or somthing like that
