Hi mate..Here is what you need for the rear wheel bearing..You will need two kits as its always best to change them in pairs..As regards to the hub nut..Ideally you would replaced them with new ones, Especially if they are nyloc..The N/S should ideally be castellated nut and a hole should be present for a split pin in the driveshaft/Stub axle..If not then either use new nyloc and once set to the 234ftlbs of torque then draw a line across the nut and shaft and check regularly for any movement..If you have to drill the driveshaft then make sure its done properly..
Wheel bearing:

Don't have any part numbers for the UJ's..But again its always best to change them in pairs or replace all four...Inner x 2 Outer x 2, Get heavy duty types like Hardy spicer....Cheers...Ziga

Zig doesn't say above , but the rear wheel bearings are Ford Granada Mk 2, but with one seal in the Ford kit substituted for a different one.

Oops
Bought some UJ's listed on flea bay as XJS and they are way to big.
Does anyone have the link for the four UJ's I need for the drive shafts on my 280i 1983?

Numbers I have are QH ones... QL-403 (with grease nipple) QL-16204 (without) for my 1982 Tasmin.

Having said that, I discovered the drive shafts on my Vixen have DIFFERENT UJs to each other !!
(later fitted with a TR6 diff and M (?) driveshafts I think, obviously not a pair. )

So it's possible you may have replacement or non-matching shafts etc. If you measure UJ cup diameter and max size across the cups when reassembled, a good shop should be able to cross-ref the part-nos for you...

If anybody's stuck, I can supply the correct-sized second seal for a deal less than certain online sellers whistle
