Default What front driveshaft do I have?

So I know from research that I really, really, really need to make sure I have a greasable joints. Problem is I am a total newbie, and don't know what my 2002 Disco has currently!

What does this look like to you?

Okay, thanks!

The truck is at 160k, so I wonder if it's been replaced before (along w/ transmission maybe), or if this is original? Guess I'll never know.

It looks in really good condition, but at the same time there is a lot value is spending $150 and not having to worry about it. On the other hand, I think they generally start squeaking before they grenade.

A very specific, unhelpful, and UK-only difference in terminology. "Driveshaft" is used almost universally to refer to the shafts that go between the transmission/transfer case and the differentials.

Where can one find such a driveshaft for $150? I've been on the hunt but finding fairly pricey options from AB, BPU & Tom Woods. I'd prefer not to build it myself. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I would not buy that Lucky8 shaft. Find a local driveshaft shop and take your stock on in so they can reuse the mounting ends and have them build one or look on ebay.
