Sounds like you've left the mother-in-law in there by mistake.... |

Turns out it's the rear propshaft centre bearing knackered, got a second hand propshaft on the way and will get it fitted next week.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I also suspect my centre bearing.

The centre propshaft bearing is available separately.

Had one fail on my 3 series BMW IIRC they are about £40ish, not difficult to do just a PITA having to take all the bits off to get to it. 2004 4.4V8 Vogue

Yes you can just get the bearing on its own, but as said it's a pita to strip down the propshaft to get to the bearing. I've managed to get a good second-hand propshaft with centre bearing for just £85-00, so will cost less in the long run for the garage to replace it, and I'll get the car back on the road sooner.

The strip down of the propshaft and bearing is covered in the Workshop Service Procedures Manual, have a look in the Wiki section for the manual.

Well, picked up the Rangie today and my mechanic showed me the old propshaft. The universal joint was in a pretty poor state with one of the pins pretty badly damaged. It was darned lucky that I had got a replacement second hand propshaft and centre bearing, otherwise I would have been stuck.
