Never come across this yet

Ok thanks. Just wanted to make sure i hadn't missed it on the system. ?

its normally the front prop....p+a

Not forgetting it is part of the test if there is a parking brake attached to the propshaft like Land Rovers.

With user name like Michele78 . I would guess that he is in fact a she ?

Back in the day there was a tick box advisory for propshaft defective! I know we don't make the rules but really what is the difference between a propshaft and a driveshaft? And what could be the result of a prop UJ breaking loose at motorway speeds, spinning free and digging into the road?

That could quite spoil your day I would think!

Just curious, if it had of bean a Land Rover and the rear prop was missing, or not fitted, providing the Land Rover could be driven, what reason for rejection would you use for a prop shaft missing, or not fitted if the park brake can't be tested for efficiency!!  

switchable 4wd like the Navarra probably wouldn't be an issue,the front prop wouldn't be driving.the aforementioned land rover would be brakes not tested if the u/js look bad enuff to detonate or cause problems,if it aint safe you don't do it,rear prop missing would surely be"little or no effort"and or braking component defective/missing/inappropriate mod,not difficult surely.

To continue this little mind game....if the Landie had a centre diff lock (certainly all Defenders do) then with that engaged you can drive it (as front wheel drive) without a rear propshaft. But I don't know if locking the diff will then allow the handbrake to work by braking the rear output which is then locked to the front one giving a front wheel handbrake. One day if I feel particularly brave I might try it!

I have not tested any Land Rovers now from memory in over 15 years, if I never came across one again I would never complain about it. Back in the day when I was seriously unlucky enough to see the Land Rovers I do vaguely remember that I used to test the park brake using the RBT. Always made me think (from memory) why VI/VOSA back in the day never brought in the up to date roller brake testing methods we use today back then, the test methods today are far simpler and use less energy and provide more accurate results than the old methods, in my opinion, and they show up faults in some areas that were never seen previously.
