UJ Failure - Some interesting pictures

Good day all,

I know everyone loves to see when a big heavy bit goes wrong. Here's a big heavy bit that nearly went very wrong....

I haven't seen one go like this before, it's totally gacked the yoke and it can't be manipulated by hand any more. How I got home on it, I don't know.

Obviously it had to destroy the expensive end - the prop. LR don't sell the UJs separately (not that it would do any good to fit one into that yoke) and a new prop is £350. There are some cheaper on LR Direct, so I'll have to bite the bullet on this one.

Scary thing is, I'd just done 400 miles on the motorway, there was no indication of any issue - in fact it was running as well as it ever had.

Vehicle is a 2002 TD5 manual.
