Have a look underneath to see if elastomer (rubber) is disbonded/cracked around the bearing.

What kind of noise do you hear?
It is possible to drive without the propshaft making it a 2x4 transmission, however you'll get diferent kind of grinding noises because of rear dif not being connected to the shaft. My experience.

Thanks for replies I've found the noise propshaft centre bearing.Rubber was a little perished but the actual bearing.Was very noisy,the whole thing looks a very weak design.Anyway I will run it as a 2wd until I get sorted.
