And now the front propshaft, front UJ. Note the dark circle in the centre of the UJ? That's where the grease nipple should be.

Rear propshaft fine - centre grease nipple and both UJ nipples present and correct.

Front propshaft not good. - holes where the UJ nipples should be. Will post some pics later.

Guess I'll be talking to the dealer on Monday about a new propshaft quoting SSM40851 Whistle

Thanks folks Mr. Green


I would rather get new UJ`s and nipples.

I guess these new props will last 3 years or so. Puma 110" SW

Glad it was easy to trace - hope you get somewhere with the dealer for replacement (and you do want a replacement).

Hopefully you wont need to write on it "REPLACE THIS ONE!" in white paint like i did after the 3rd trip!! Mike
