^^ Pete, when I asked my dealer the first time to grease the propshafts during maintenance job, they called me back and said that one of the grease nipples on the front propshaft was missing. But they ordered it from LR and were able to just install it on the propshaft where it was supposed to have been from new. Thereafter were able to properly grease it. So worth asking about this too I guess. Thumbs Up

Interesting. The TSB concerning missing nipples states very clearly that the whole propshaft should be replaced if this is found during the warranty period, rather than just fitting the missing nipple(s). I am not sure why.


Eric, if the tapped hole for the grease nipple to screw into has been left open to the elements, there will be all sorts of grit and grime that will have entered the hole. Simply screwing a grease nipple into it and pumping it full of grease is only going to push all of that grit into the bearing cups and cause the premature failure of that UJ.

However, as you point out blackwolf, I don't see why they would require the whole propshaft to be replaced, when it's really only the UJ in question that would need replaced.

Jon.


Well, don't know what to say here really. After 6 years and 70k km, I never had any driveline vibrations, noise, or anything else which would make me thing something could be wrong. My dealers are not really the kind who would look the other way if there seems a real problem. My own visual inspection also shows nothing that stands out, just a very clean truck underneath. Of course, my truck has never seen more off-road than a run of 100m on our dry, well maintained lawn at home,.... and that only once or twice. Laughing
I think I just keep going as is, twice a year when going for oil change or more, also ask dealer to thoroughly grease everything that's greasable. Thumbs Up
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Hi All..

Sad day to day. After 3 years of ownership I'm selling my 110 utility. Big Cry No big dramas to report just big smiles. Very Happy

Hope it's all smooth sailing with the New 110 Utility I collect this afternoon. Thumbs Up in Montalcino Red. Will post photos later.

I really enjoyed this years Peterborough, the trip there on Friday was allways going to be a long one, over 5 hours for 140 miles, but tonight was a dream 3½hours with a MacDonalds on the way back. There was a bit of entertainment between an Audi Tittie behind me and a Ferrari in front holding us both up on the last 30miles Whistle
I found it a great social show, I hardly bought anything but it was great to meet up with folks I haven't seen for two or three years.
In the main, the ring, when I got to see it, seemed to be giving some decent entertainment. Definately worth the effort of going.

That would have been mine, I did end up in a prominent spot plus it is distinctive from the front! I did have to smile on your comment about LP, I think they were a little overwhelmed on Friday night with the volume of punters through the gate and especially those that knew exactly where they were going like me as I was meeting up with friends who had saved me some space. It certainly upset the Jobsworth mentality!

Having wanted a Land Rover since the age of 10, I finally collected this from the dealers thirty years later.
