Ok, I finally fixed most of my pesky issues. Waiting for my 8mm wires and Plugs to arrive.

Now, my next project is to replace/rebuild the Front Shaft. I would rather replace with a reliable one. I am afraid with my little knowledge I will screw up bad!

Any idea if I can get a front Shaft (besides the Dealer) or somewhere in Austin, TX to do this?

After this next I will tackle the 3 stupid Amigos! Feel free to advice

Appreciate your help.

 

There are numerous posts regarding drive shafts on the forums. Great Basin Rovers, Tom Woods, or do-it-yourself rebuilds are some of the most popular options.

Also you can just take yours to a driveline shop to get it rebuilt.

 

Thank you Tom. I need to do little research and see who can rebuild this in Austin. I looked at step by step here. There are things I will do but some work I would rather leave is to professionals!

There are places like this

Driveshafts - Landrover Discovery II TD5 Front - Driveshaft Parts

But not sure how reliable these would be!

Thanks again.

Thank Aaron. So I am finding for $185 to all the way $1000 (LR). I will have to look into I am not in terrible rush I only have 45k mileage but I want to fix this ASAP.

I saw your profile Kingsborne 8 MM wires and NGK Plat plugs. I just ordered Kinsborne should be here soon. Someone told me stick with Champion double platinum. I have 2 other trucks (Toyota and Pathfinder) I would never use Champion for those. I don't know how good the Champion plugs are. Any help?

So my Discovery have been in the storage for a long time. I had an accident recently and I think the right ABS sensor got messed up or at least I think. That is where the hit was. 3 Amigos are here now.

So my list of to do are

1. Spark Plugs and wire
2. Drive Shaft
3. 3 Amigos after that - I may do this one soon depending how to test. without spending a fortune.

Thanks again for your help.

 

I believe these guys have a location in austin:

Jaguar & Rover Parts > New, Rebuilt & Used > Jaguar Salvage, Land Rover Salvage > Jaguar Accessories

Not sure if the are any good or not.

 

I've recently fitted a Brit Parts front drive shaft (in Australia) due to the original failing. Did the fit up myself and so far (some 3,000k's) it's going great. Cost about $550.00 for the unit new as opposed to $1,100 for a genuine or $450 for a second hand "low" mile unit.
