Hi, i am in the need of replacing both drive shafts on my w plate 2000 saxo vtr.
I have already encountered problems with parts due to it being on the change over, phase 1 to phase 2.
I have found a place on the net that can supply me with new shafts, inc gaiters clips etc, basically ready to fit. The have had my reg number and state they only list one type of shaft for the vtr, (they all come with the abs rings which can be removed if required)
now my issue is that i have been to my local garage who tell me that this job is a real pain in th arse because from their experience every tiem they have done shafts on a vtr the parts they have are usually the wrong ones despite being ordered, and make/model/reg number being given.
The place i am getting my shafts from is j and r trading, who claim to be specialists and offer a 2 yr warranty.
Has anyone ever used them ? If so are they as good as they claim to be?
Secondly, is there really such an issue with the shafts, i am aware that the ends are different, ie straight and tapered,
what other pit falls are there likely to be?
Quick responses please, as i am ordering the shatfs on tuesday.
Cheers
