Driving my 1978 Series III all summer after owning and working in if for years before without driving it, I’m increasingly convinced of some driveline issues. Last Land Rover I drove years ago was a similar age 109 and it was tighter.

The rear driveshaft will rotate about 120 degrees by hand without the wheels moving; this seems like too much to me and I think accounts for allot of the ‘slop’ in the drivetrain?

Thanks for any insight;

Tom
