Ah, you did well noticing that halfway through. I usually realize things like that at the end, and then forget about them next time I do the job!

I think Rover owners are more in tune with their vehicles, and the faintest new sound is picked up much sooner than it would be if you were driving a more modern vehicle. It sounds like you caught the U-joint wear quite early, as you noticed some play while moving the driveshaft, but the ujoints appeared tight when you removed them. Did you check the wheel bearings also?

sounds like you have done good, young jedi!
