			'''Aidan:''' GKN Driveline at Leek (from an August 2010 post)

			I have had their own made ones before, sliding joint and standard DIN 90 UJ's with grease nipples less than £200 and I recently had two shafts refurbished by them after my attempts had failed, you can fit a trunion kit from Baxter (Brickwerks) but they don't necessarily come right without some black magic to sort end float and balance as I have discovered; they did two for £135 plus VAT in 24 hours sorted and repainted.

			I delivered and collected they are just over an hour from me, but I'm sure they can sort shipping/collection if required but good to use local if possible. GKN have more than 1 depot anyway, it was Andy Simpson who found the Leek one and pointed me at it.

			The original prop can have its UJs replaced and be rebalanced. Prop shops do this, but the above is the cheapest anyone has found for the Syncro prop.

 Called this morning at 10 am to be told - it's ready - refurbed with new joints, rubber doughnut ok as is all else - has been tested and rebalanced all for the princely sum of £54.
 Subject to testing on the van I think that is one hell of a service - so thanks GKN!

			2 weeks ago the ScoobyVelle developed a vibration that would collapse a house.
			Captain Know Everything from Huddersfield immediately said it was the prop (and that was at 45 miles distance) and advised dropping the prop - Aiden also pitched in with brilliant help and advice - thanks.
			Off came the prop and it all went very quiet, calm and economical - the handling however, all turned to worms and the van became very skittish especially on wet roads and leaves whereas previously it had only ever faltered on a huge diesel slick on the A57.
			Eventually I manage to get the prop into GKN yesterday morning at about 0930.
			They said they would get fixed or build a new one, whichever was the best/most economical route.
			Called this morning at 10 am to be told - it's ready - refurbed with new joints, rubber doughnut ok as is all else - has been tested and rebalanced all for the princely sum of £54.
			Subject to testing on the van I think that is one hell of a service - so thanks GKN!
