went out for my maiden voyage on my 77,000 miles rtp yesterday and noticed some vibration from the driveshaft I think. I have changed the oil in the rear diff and greased the rear splines - is there anything else I should do please?
do they normally vibrate a bit or is something worn out?

Have you checked the UJ joins on the shaft?
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you

I have never done so, but it doesn't look like it would be too tough. As I said, there are many videos on YouTube on the subject. You may not have to pull the shaft to check it.
