JJB Serenity Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hi chaps I think I need to change my UJ's as I seem to have lost some drive at the low end of my revs and I have heard a whirring/chirping noise which I believe is a symptom of worn UJ's I am due to drive up to the Lake District soon and don't want to lose a propshaft on the way! I will change them all - better to be safe than sorry I have a 1992 Defender 90 200Tdi. Please can someone tell me which are the UJ's for me. Also, if anyone has recommendations I would be grateful. I have seen these: Rear Propshaft UJ's Front Propshaft UJ's And one other question: are any specialist tools required or will a spanner/socket set do? Thanks in advance for any help you can give JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJB Serenity Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 You need the later UJ's go by your chassis number last 8 digits UJ replacement from our tech archive Thanks Western, having become even more confused by that I looked up what the chassis numbers mean and i found these useful guides: Chassis Numbering Chassis Numbering I think I understand now. That is the same Part Number for the rear prop too so I take it that means they are for both the front and rear? Also, I might be being a bit thick here, but what year is denoted by the letter C at the beginning of the last 8 digits? Thanks again JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 the 'C' is a early RR year code for 1986, enter your complete VIN/chassis in the vin checker on this website http://landroveroneten.com/ yours most likely has a A or B if it's a pre 1988 vehicle or as per the list if after 1988. Year of Build A all models except: B Ser. III CSW or R/R Phase II, or 90/110 face lift to 1987 M/Y C R/R 1986 M/Y D R/R 1987 M/Y E 1988 F 1989 G 1990 H 1991 J 1992 K 1993 L 1994 M 1995 T 1996 V 1997 W 1998 X 1999 Y 2000 1 2001 2 2002 3 2003 4 2004 5 2005 6 2006 7 2007 8 2008 9 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
