Default Misfire or Vibration? Help

Hi there.

I have a 2000 disco 2.

Over the last few months i have had lots of stuff done to it to keep it running.

The last thing i had done a few weeks ago was the water pump, cam chain cover gaskets, head gaskets and plugs and wires changed.

The last few days the thing has been running rough around 1800-2500 revs and i'm not sure if it's a misfire or a vibration.

I do have an abs amigo but thats not showing any codes? Does the abs amigo read all codes or just codes relating to the 3 amigos?

I may remove the front prop to see if the vibration is still there but i need to use the rover to get to work. How long can you drive with the front shaft disconnected? The rover has done 126000km.

It will only read ABS codes. What have you checked so far, whos plug wires did you install?

I took it to an independent land rover specialist here in Calgary. So i'm pretty sure they would have used the correct plugs and leads.

If i buy a code scanner today and no codes show am i safe to assume theres no misfire?

Should any dash lights appear if theres a misfire?

So i'm going to pull the front prop as a precaution but just plugged in a code scanner and got

P1884
P0102
P0112

I have reset but don't want to drive the thing to see if the miss or vibration is still there as i'm scared of the worst case scenario.

Prop shaft it was!

No misfire and no vibration. Also no codes!

So i couldn't get the bolts out of the transfer case side?

Are they ok to leave loose and use until i fit the new prop as i don't have a big socket to get that front plate off.

Not sure if they will remain there without the drive shaft.
Who's drive shaft are you getting?
You know, you can engage the CDL and drive on the rear shaft only in the mean time.
