How are you doing it , have you pulled the inner cv's apart or "popped" them off the diff ? willy , is there any difference between aussie clubbie pot joint's and rover pot joints , I don't think there is but anything's worth a shot ???

you need two guys
one to move the driveshaft, and one to move the engine around,
do one shaft at a time, i think the long one first.

failing that, you need to undo your front suspension on one side or both sides

Jack the car up so that front wheels are just off the ground , you can then move the joints into position by turning either front wheel ........cheers

i did have a mate... couldnt even get the long side in... or the engine mounts to line up... if i could have gotten the engine mounts to line up i would have taken both sides off and put them in seperatly...
