Coming back from howards on the M5, outside lane on a downhill bit giving her some welly to clear the cobwebs out all was going fine, hour into journey, 30 miles to go feel a little vibration from underneath... Before I had a chance to back off the gas I get a big whiff of rubber smoke into the cockpit from around the gearlever and thats the front propshaft coupling dead as a doorknob.. 46 propshafts?? are they plentiful, can anybody help ?? I know you can Matt but the timescale of you not being able to help before probably middle of week after next by time you have had chance to wrap etc.. Just wondered if anyone else had any 46 bits bobbin about?

should add total mileage since rebuild now heading for the 30,000 mark, so it hasnt done too bad and I suspect the leaking oil from the engine might have played a part

Same as 66, shedloads about. I may even have one that I could ship quick. Do us a favour and tell me how long it is (in properly units like metric ones ) and also how many splines / diameter thereof.

Do you think that's why he's gone quiet Pete/John?
