[unforgiven]

Well given the suspension is jacked up abit, and softer, the ride will be more 'cosseting' (!) although they will still whip around quite happily if the shocks are good.

2.5t is soft but able performer. An MBC or remap will raise it to standard-t5 levels of power - so 220bhp ish.

Put a piggy bank aside to budget for re-furbing the centre prop and service the bevel drive box oil straight away!

Tyres *MUST* be equal in tread depth all around, *ALL* the time.

how much does it cost to do the prop and bevel?

Propshaft is nearly a bag. . .

What year is it? because some have the electronic haldex system, and the older ones have the viscous coupling

You can re-grease the cv joints on the prop, and the grease dries out. There's a guide on here for it.

And I think I've found a company that does new cvjoints

The AWDs are a minority on here. And most people say stay away
