   Hi guys
   
   As i thought, Citroen have confirmed i need a new driveshaft, however they dont stock/make them anymore, so ive been told to source one myself.
   
   http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=130539266002&index=1&nav=SEARCH&ni d=35152951069
   
   Is this one ok? It says its specific for a VTR, but just wanna check with anyone who knows, because Citroen said something about a certain length of the thread or something?
   
   Help would be appriciated!
   
   Cheers
   
   Ash

   The link doesn't work mate, but if you go into your local motor factors, give them your reg they should come back with the right driveshaft

   If yours is the 03 VTR in your Cars section, that one *should* fit.
   The problem will be at the hub end as they used 2 different types of bearing/shaft combo over the years.
   Generally the type you've linked to fits the later cars so you should be ok.

   Used j&r shafts on my last two cars and my mate is running them. No problems so far, good quality 2 year guarentee and alot cheaper than anywhere else
