I have started to get a bad vibration

It happens when I go to pull away and seems to stop by 15 mph

and then when I stop from 15 mph down I get it

I've had the wheels off and given everything a good clean and looked for

any thing obviously loose

Any ideas???

TA MAT

Possibly a worn universal joint on the prop shaft ?

My first thoughts too; start with the prop.

Correct took prop off the UJ at the end with the rubber damper

is very loose compared with the other end

have to start looking for a replacement today

GKN Driveline will do you a complete prop for less than £200 delivered... with plunger tube for length adjustment too

Aidan & Andy S knwo the correct GKN address, but think its their Leek address where I ordered mine... next day delivery, by courier, made to measure. happy with mione, two designs, with or without a spider/shock absorber, mine was without & £189 inc del and VAT

Update

thanks for that Clive spoke to Aidan

so phoned GKN this morning he put me onto a company in Bootle A1 Props

who will replace the UJ bits for £50

probably not the best way but cheapest option for me and I will get it

back tommorrow

Right just got prop back

seem to have done a grand job refurbed the UJ and rebalanced

£50+vat

A1 Props Bootle 0151-944-1586

Rebalanced an'all

Send us the address Matt!

Thats is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cheap!

Just spoke to them on the phone, seem like good chaps - sending mine up for a refurb - twas like riding a giant vibrator on the way to VF!

Might as well have both replaced whilst its out and up with them

I paid about £140 for this last time, and I had to supply own UJ's...

OK - for the technically challenged such as myself 'all I have to do is drop the prop' with the UJs....

...and whack it in the post?

What could be easier?
