Haven't really updated this, not really had the time but here goes :D

I've had the worst luck ever, my engine mount snapped and the engine hit the deck on my dinner at work so had to take half the day off and get to scrappy about 30 miles away and grab one off a mk2 ibiza.

After i sorted that, i knew my cv joints where on their way out, kept tapping when i put my foot down and then i played it out a bit too long and...

Went and got another driveshaft from scrappy (another 30 mile drive) got home and realised that both sides had actually gone :blink: so then i was car-less for a week, headed down to scrappy (another 30 miles..) and grabbed the drivers side one also, got home to swap them over and spent about 3 hours getting the driveshaft out of the engine side as it was siezed in there, managed to pull the driveshaft out with the mangled CV joint.

But the 2" lip was still stuck in the engine :confused: so soaked in WD40 and smashed it out with a hammer and chisel (most akward place to get to, had it on axle stands and had to remove some form of counter weight?..)

and now it's finally back on the road :D
