Following on from the recent thread on the matter, I thought this might be of interest.
It has certainly got my attention. A chap on the German Blacklandy forum has had to have the intermediate shaft on his TD4 110 replace seven times within four years and 130000 Kilometers. Now out of warranty, he has had to pay for the last two, himself. Spline alignment problem. Another posted pictures of his intermediate shaft which let go at 60000 Kilometers, and broke clean through in the middle. http://www.blacklandy.eu/blboard/forum/sho...gewechselt I do long journeys to remote places, where there are still workshops, but not neccessarily LR dealers, I am going to be buying a shaft as a carry on spare.

I feel really sorry for the guy
It'll be interesting to see if he finds the root cause. Clearly this isn't a grease issue so it'll be interesting to see what the fix is. Has no one found a well engineered solution to this yet? Forgive my ignorance but wouldn't soem kind of uj be better? |
