Propshaft Problems


I had Bertie in at Fishguard Tyres recently to get the exhaust pipe checked. All ok fortunately, but while he was up on the vehicle lift I got under to inspect the underside. I discovered that the prop shaft bearing was worn right through so got on the phone to Adrian Bailey Classics in Leeds to order a new one.

It arrived while I was up in Shrewsbury attending to family matters so as soon as I got back to Pembrokeshire I went up to Jack Pontiago's garage on the way to Strumblehead Lighthouse and booked Bertie in to have the new prop shaft bearing fitted and to have the MOT test done at the same time. The soonest date I could get it done was the 15th of April so fingers crossed it'll pass with flying colours.

A very knackered prop shaft bearing has seen better days.
