I believe some folk prefer the LR ones because they still have a grease nipple whereas most others are pre-greased and "sealed for life"

hi all

just wanted to get an update on this thread

I may be needing some new prop shaft universal joints and wanted to
check to see if the land rover parts fit and work ok has anyone had any size issues

all the tvr suppliers want £45 + each ?
I have seen the land rover gkn type uj's for £9 +vat online "same make that tvr power sell"

and by hunting around to land rover part suppliers as low as £2.95 + vat bargain ! but are they to cheap quality wise
any advice welcome

cheers keith
