If you can rotate the propshaft when both front wheels are on the ground/locked by applying the brakes, then the spline connection between the gearbox and PTU has probably failed and the car is FWD only. This is something you need to investigate closer

Essentially you've got loss of connection in the driveline with the gearbox and front of the prop.

This is just an update so far as I'm trying to fit this in between work commitments. I've been looking at other threads but thought I'd keep this one updated.

If you havent downloaded the freebie JLR workshop manual then I suggest you do so. Its a very useful pdf with great diagrams and information. Makes Haynes look very inferior.

Jules. Cheers for the link to the manuals. It's a bit hard to use on a phone as it takes ages to find the relevant pages and I can't see a contents page but that might just be my dodgy eyesight! More concerning is the vast number of bloody Fault Codes!!!! 😳

Try either squirting or rubbing silicon into the rubber mounts or rubber bearings for that matter, you will be surprised at how easy they come off and go back.

Finally, I managed to get the driveshaft out of the hub. I didn't realise how much of it there is that goes into the PTU!
