Propshaft repairs West Yorkshire
So you guys have advised me against the doughnut coupling so where can I get a UJ conversion done in west yorks or close by.
Also how much roughly are we talking for this so I don't get ripped off
Cheers all
Steve

I've had good experiences with Dunning and Fairbank Cross Green Rise, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS9 0SD in the past for prop repairs but I am aware
that others have not faired so well.

D&F made my propshaft and an adaptor for me to connect it to my BMW gearbox to replace the rubber donut. They had adaptors in stock, but not sure
how much they charge for them on there own. They gave me a good service and their overall price was competitive with others that I looked at.

Another +1 for DandF. They made me a prop for my kit and reconditioned the prop on my Transit. Mention 'cash' and 'Christmas Party
Fund' when you come to pay.....

I've had a few UJs repaired/ replaced by them - always been done on time and at a good price.

Well I dropped the prop off at D&F this morning for the UJ conversion,
They seem really good guys:
5 day turn round and £55 +VAT for the job
Not bad but I'm gunning for a cash deal on collection! Lol
Can't wait to get back on the road and see what difference it makes
