Re: propshaft removal

I had to tow mine not so long ago, the book said 31 mph for 31 miles with an extra 1.8 litres of atf, i done about 37 miles and it was fine.

Is there not a peice of the shaft that comes out rather than taking the whole thing out?

Re: Dumped E30

where abouts are you from? dont plan on taking it without consent. am going to try and get in contact with the owner to see if it is there for a reason or if it is unwanted. just spoken to a mate in the police force and he is gonna try and get a VIC on it.
