Default 4x4 drivetrain vibration

Got an 'orrible vibration from the drivetrain on my 4be. (G plate XR 4x4). It's low mileage (<80k) and full ford service history to 75k.

Lots of play in centre propshaft bearing. replaced that. still lots of vibration, under power, esp when torque called for. And when I say lots, I mean LOTS! full throttle at 2.5k rpm gets the whole car shaking and rattling likie nothing I've ever known.

SLIGHT play in offside front inner driveshaft joint. So I guess that's the next thing to handle. Mate in the trade says I've gotta buy a whole driveshaft for £100 plus.

Two questions: Any cheaper way of handling the parts piece?
Any other ideas what might be going on?

Thanks,

Al.
