Has anyone ever had any success fitting one of the cheaper versions of propshaft. Some are a good bit cheaper than the likes of GKN etc but are they really worth it,, or more importantly, up to the job 2010 RRS, TDV8

I've tried the cheaper ones. They range from lasting 6 months, to being faulty out the box.

We'll only supply/fit OEM or genuine now Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Cairns Blue

I’ve just had a GKN one fitted at the last service, it was picked up as faulty, so it was changed. I didn’t think it was tremendously expensive and I was told its a solid alternative to LR item. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

My indy changed my rear prop shaft on my 2005 4.2L SC last September with genuine LR one.

The cost of the prop shaft was £440 + vat. Given how important it is, I figured it was a reasonable price to pay if I never have to do it again. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue
2005 4.2L Supercharged Java Black - gone but was my first love.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

GKN may be the OEM supplier to LR. The Advanced Factors site suggests that is the case, anyway.

https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/lr037028...5835-p.asp 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

GKN are indeed OEM

They even come with the LR part number stamped into it, but then stamped over again in an attempt to make it illegible

Which makes it exactly the same as a genuine part Thumbs Up

I fitted a GKN one on mine. It cost me £240 including delivery from island4x4. No point in scrimping on quality. Kev
