   Basically i have found out i think my Intermediate driveshaft bearing needs replacing so i need to get that sorted at the garage however Im thinking they may just replace the driveshaft. but i also want to give the car a service as i haven't since i got it. I have about £300.
   
   Will £300 be enough? or shall i just get the driveshaft sorted and get it serviced another day?
   
   Cheers
   
   Sorry for the crap questions, it's my first car

   Driveshaft replaced, parts and labour at your local garage should be around £90-£100

   if you know anyone with basic mechanical knowledge driveshaft is easy and will cost around £50 tradeish price.

   Been quoted £40 for two new driveshafts by my local garage - no labour costs as I only just got the car.

   thats impossible, they must be s/h as new ones are £60-70 trade EACH. and for the bearing it will be £23+labour
   
   probably £103 in total plus a service. so looking at about £200 overall
