Hi, I've got a 2nd hand box and a front prop. Ive had a look on realoem for prop bolts and although the site shows prices there doesn't seem to be a way to buy ,,,, or I'm I doing something wrong? Hopefully when they list a bolt at $0.98 a bmw dealer won't rip the p...

Christ what a faff, had to remove the box mount and lower it just to be able to get a boroscope in to read the right part number!

I hope changing the tranfer box isn't going to need the gearbox out too  though if it does I'll do the chains too. Anyone done the job ?

Greydog,  I don't actually know what the problem was, I was investigating a rattle having just bought the car (auction) and found the front prop missing! The output flange is loose and rattling so I fear it's significant internal damage.  The cars done 100k and although it has a full dealer service history, I see that the mot history is full of advisories about individual tyres so that's probably what's killed the box.

I'm pretty competent in the garage but I suspect a used box might be the quickest easiest fix.

Got on here no bother thanks,,, tho appears not the site I was trying initially 

Louise  , how did you get on, I have the same problem.
