Weirdly, there doesn't seem to be any history of that number plate when you search for tax or MOT 🤔

Yeah I've looked underneath and it's definitely still there. It's booked into a specialist at the end of the month for a full check and they'll remove the prop for me at the same time. We'll see what the diagnosis is when the garage looks at it! I don't mind running it round in FWD for a while until I can sort it out.

I've already put my private plate on it so that would explain why you don't see anything!

Hi,

I suspect your central bearing on the propshaft has gone.
There is a decent prop shaft repair company near Larbert if you find you need one. They can either repair your prop or replace it.
I did not enjoy mine running at FWD, to be honest.

Hope the issue is nothing more complex / costly than that and indeed that ot might even be easier!

Nice car you have! Enjoy it.

Thanks - is that Propshaft Services near Bonnybridge? That's one place I had eye on after reading a recommendation elsewhere on this forum.

Someone ran into the back of my wife’s car last year and the third party said she would pay. An estimate was obtained and sent, it was £350 and the third party decided that was too expensive so she put it through her insurance. My wife now has to own up to a non fault claim for the next 5 years…

My wife and I are both in the same boat, wife’s car was hit on a friends drive by their daughter whilst my wife was sat in their house having a cup of tea, neighbour reversed out of his drive into my parked car, still impacts out premiums and because we run a small holding and I have more than one car we have 7 motor policies between us (starting with a tractor..) at least half have been impacted.

Yep, that was the place I used.
They were decent.

I hope you get it all sorted.
