aga man Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 woke this morning to find that my ladrover disovery would not go anwhere! could select gears ok but no drive. had a look underneath and to my disbeleif some cheeky ******* had knicked my front propshaft :o the car is parked on my front driveway just outside my front window. somebody had laid underneath the vehicle, udone eight nuts and bolts and removed the propshaft. after ringing around i found a new one from landrover was £400 :o i managed to find one for £200 and fitted it myself. to say i'm angry is an understatement £200 would have bought 1000 cartridges or anything else for that matter. i reported it to the cops but they said there was little they could do . probably pointless posting here but it helps to get it off my chest. if any of you lads from east yorkshire know anything about my propshaft please feel free to pm me. atb aga man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack-ack Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I had a plastic grille pinched from an early 80's vehicle. No chance that I will ever replace it. It was at a VW show as well. I hope whoever took it blew a head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 There's no one in Essex who would have need of a 1980's vehicle grill or anything because we all drive brand new pearl white Range Rovers.

mfletch Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I would change some of the bolts to Alan key and some to star drive At least it would make it harder to take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I would change some of the bolts to Alan key and some to star drive At least it would make it harder to take off. good idea that mate. someone else suggested tack welding the jointing flanges of the shaft. just to slow them down and give the dog chance to check them out. too late now though they got there propshaft i bet the culprits drive transits that run on red diesel and tether horses anywhere and have under fed running dogs etc. you find these whether you are north,south east or west. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Strewth that is brass neck if ever there was. Hope they get caught. Have a friend from the midlands who was up here fishing when his wife phoned to say she had disturbed an intruder in the hall who was about to grab a bunch of car keys.

four-wheel-drive Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Just out of curiosity you have not done anything to upset someone as it sounds like a fun way to get your own back on someone who has done something that really peed me off I must confess that I have thought about doing something like this but did not have the guts to do it. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
