Help!! Propshaft required for 1980 345DL Manual

[PintsizePowerhouse]

Hello good people-after what I thought was a catastrophic breakdown on the M25, it seems all I need to make my Mk1 go again is a new propshaft-the inside of the prop moves at the clutch end but the outside doesn't! Rotating the shaft by hand turns the wheels,so definately the propshaft is at fault. If anyone knows where I can get one or has one, please get in touch-I've had the car since new & will keep her till the end of time! Thank you.

Prop-lem solved! Thank you everyone for your help. Managed to find a new old stock one (behind some scotch mist under some hen's teeth) from a garage in woolwich run by a top father & son team-paid maybe a bit more than I should for it but hopefully i've given The Lady back her biggest asset-realiability. All fitted (the haynes manual is shall we say,served with a generous helping of salt-clutch end on first indeed!Although redeemed but having torque wrench settings) and she's moving again. Here's to the next 30 years..........

Wow you lucky boy finding a NOS prop, well done

Yeah i found out myself the other week that the Haynes is a little bit wrong, until the knowledgable guys on here put me right.

Indeed here's to another 30yrs of trouble free motoring for you

there's a very big reason we call the V300 Haynes "the book of lies" here in Holland
it's filled with such nonsence
