Hi all we have a 2010/11 sd4 Freelander Auto, and the prop seems to be making a noise under load, checked underneath but nothing broke or loose etc, but it does sound like something is loose inside the propshaft. Can i remove the complete prop and run the vehicle? and are there different props for these vehicles or all the same from a certain year? |

You can drive the vehicle with the prop removed to test it. There are a few different prop designs, based on year of manufacture, gearbox type and engine type. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

Thanks Nodge, I been scouring to net looking at prices, we are going to go for a new one, i am about 90% sure it one of the joints on the prop (suspect rear), but going to remove the prop totally on weekend to try it. |

just an update......upon further investigation, we have narrowed it down to the rear propshaft joint (where it connects to rear differential), spoke to quite a few propshaft reconditioners and most say to get a new prop, so have located one at £237 delivered (new), will fit when it arrives and see what happens. |

Wow, an Adder in Wales. I've seen a couple here in Cornwall, but they slither away quickly the moment they see a human.

Update Hissing Sid has gone to a new home, a pasture with plenty of tree coverings about 2 miles away, so he is safe and none the wiser, i prefer my apprentices of the human kind not the scaly ones.
