Thanks Tadpole ;)

After reading Martins writeup again, and Gaz's comment, I think I might also clamp an 8mm prop onto the diff flange with mole-grips and drill a set of 8mm holes between each of the 10mm holes, so I've got a universal diff flange B)

Dave ;)


That's what I did. Works fine :)

If it's good enough for Tom, then it's good enough for me ;)

Might have one more prop I can use then... that's tomorrows job, although I'm supposed to be working on finishing the back garden, so Mum's the word :whistle:

It was either that or wait another week to get hands on a prop shaft that would fit :)

So I got impatient and just drilled the flanges :)

Just given mine a good check over before 'laning trip on Sunday...

Prop replaced and slider greased
Spare placed in the back of the Jimny
Bump stop rubber cone missing off OSR, so nicked one off the EX-Jimny buggy for now
Brake clip missing off rear axle, so again nicked one off the 'other Jimny' for now
Front mounts on the axle to radius arms on the rear slightly loose on both sides
NSF tyre pressure a little low, might be that that was giving the Jim a little wobble last time out?
Took a little bit of engine oil for once
Washer bottle topped up
Radiator checked
All other nuts and bolts checked
Winches tested

Ready for another great 'laning trip then? :woohoo:

Yup, we're off for a days 'laning around the Worcester area... Phil always comes up to 'lane with the rest of "our little group", so this time - in fairness - we're off down to his neck of the woods for a wander around...

It's a three hour drive for me (and Alan) there and back. so I thought I'd better get my prop sorted, and the little trucklet checked underneath before such a big journey...

Expect another one of those blogs soon then ;)

Ooo Goody! Whenever I read your blogs it makes me want to go Laning! I don't go often enough to the point where I barely go these days, which is a shame as there's no real excuse!
