Thanks for the update Neo and good luck with the fitting of the new prop shaft, be interested to see what sort if nick the old one is in and how easy/hard the replacement is to fit.

Great write up Neo, thank you. I think I'm going to check which shaft I have, old or new before possible following in your footsteps.

Quick couple of Q's if you don't mind as you are now our resident prop shaft expert 
1) what were the torque specs of the bolts?
2) Did you need to grease the shaft and if so what did you use?

That is simply an amazing post re your replacement of drive shaft.
Prior to ownership, I had doubts, so opted for the AUC purchase, however since ownership I’ve been sceptical of the shaft issue,
Your post has given me the resolve and piece of mind, Many thanks......
I’ll be in touch with with Des Shelly shafts, order a replacement and replacement bolts from Cotswold...

Many thanks for posting, I’ll follow your lead p!

Thanks mate

If there is anyone near Bristol and need help doing it, I don't mind helping out in my garage.
Got all the tools and space to do it.
All you need is a shaft and some bolts.

I'm glad I could help out.
