Bend over lube up and get ready for a shafting.....

Are you 100% sure its the CV joint?
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

you'd need the grease from the drive shaft applied liberally where the sun dont shine if your going there  :shocked:

mate was qouted close to £400 but for some reason it seems to be more expensive here in Suffolk, VW further north qouted just under £300  :huh:

Changed my mates on weekend he bought a cheapy for his PD130 £35 and done the job.
We will see how long it lasts but for £35 from a local motor shop isnt bad at all.

I got one from J&R on ebay that was a hole shaft for £55 I hoping that will last until I can save for a better quality one or get a half decent second hand one
