Sorry to hear that. 41 K! The horrible thing is there is no ryme or reason as to how long a shaft will last. We will be doing a several thousand K trip towing a 2.5 T trailer soon, and already Iīm thinking what to do in the event....
Shame on you JLR! 1998 Tdi 90 SW, 2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MTīs, Recaro CSīs, anorak, wellingtons |

Ha
Yes, cure is to wind your odometer past 41, straight on to 42 and you miss it! |

I just shake my head when I read of these failures that need not hapen.
The owners hand book shows it should be greased but it's been missed at the factory. I've got a 3 week remote trip coming up where we'll be towing also. After reading similar threads I'm glad I dropped the transfer off to check, mine was dry also. Cheers, Kyle. |

That's not good, how does LR get away with it!
Are you going to replace it with the Ashcroft parts or greased original parts? Keep us updated. Cheers Andy Never Knowingly Understood |

No idea!
I'm going to go for the original parts and just make sure it's greased very well and seated correctly! Will post pics once out. Cheers, Fish. |

Land Rover should pay for the repair even if it happens out of warrenty, end of. The sale of Goods Act says so!! 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

JLR's official response as stated in this very forum is scandalous given the obvious defect in the assembly of the intermediate shaft and how many people have suffered failure and subsequent personal inconvenience as a result.

^^ Cannot agree more. And then their silly constant use of the word "retailer"...
A car dealer is and remains exactly that, a car dealer... You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

^^^^ Yes, but a 'dealer' sounds far to 'common' for modern day LR now.

Well, the speed at which our Geneva JLR "dealer" are selling Eeewoks, RRS, FFRR, you could call them "wholesalers", but the speed at which they are selling Jaguars makes them "retailers" again. Dilemma
