   Mate need to use the search button, i've covered this thousands of times! LITERALLY!!
   
   its the Driveshaft Intermediate Bearing, the actual bearing is about £20 Citroen ONLY but its a pain to fit and for £80 you can get a New Drivers side driveshaft with new bearing and just fit that. search it and i give a detailed description of how to change it. cba to do it here done it so many times.

   if its a furio, it won't have an intermediate bearing.

   to change diff bearings entails a full gearbox removal,strip and rebuild,so if it is the diff bearings that are shot either a re-con or good used box is the more cost effective solution

   good used 1.4 boxes don't fetch a fortune, when we have them (none at the mo) we sell them for 70 pounds, can probably get cheaper from a private seller
