    Not at all, can get a refurbished rear axle for about £100 i believe and the driveshaft is so easy to replace..

    Do it yourself mate.

    Driveshafts are simple.

    Beam, you might want to pay a Garage to do that, as I tried to do mine on Axle stands and the car fell on me.

    Not expensive though.

    Don't know much about the back axle but as far as the drive shaft is concerned, i picked up a brand new one for £45 and its a piece of piss to fit, you can easy do it yourself mate

    Where did you get that from? They're like £100 on eurocarparts and they require you to send your broken one.

    Hmmm I'll have a more detailed talk with my mechanic tomorrow and maybe get a 2nd opinion. Can anybody link me to the guide for the driveshafts please? So which is more the price of a back axel? £100 or £300?

    I got mine from a place called Dingbro, they supply our garage with parts so we get money off.

    What about ebay - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_t...All-Categories not bad prices
