Cost of N/S drive shaft + CV joint replaced?

[matt|H]

I think my drive shaft is on it's last legs.. progressively getting worse and don't know how long I have left before it gives up.

I've been told I should get the CV joints checked/replaced at the same time.

How much am I looking at?

This has been covered loads recently, what is it with driveshaft suddenly all going.
IIRC the driveshaft is about £100. PLus labour, plus as its the N/S the gearbox oil will spill and need to be replaced or put back in. Probably only a few hours work though if they know what there doing.

Would I be better off going to a garage rather than asking the missus' Dad to do it? He does everything else on my car and pretty sure he's done it on his cars before. I have no doubt that he can do it, I just don't want something going wrong again lol.

Depends if you trust him lol. Its not a hard job to do, just make sure you know what your doing before you have a go.

Thanks for the info

a new driveshaft from renault is £220 they dont supply just the cv joint due to they are pre assembled well thats what they told me

I was told £170+VAT for the OS 182 one

replacing the driveshaft is relatively easy if your doing in on the floor id imangine filling the gearbox back up could be a pain

Mine was just over 200 quid supplied and fitted by my local Renault stealer.

 

[matt|H]

Cool he said he can fit them so that's sorted

 

[matt|H]

Just spoke with him told me I will need the following:

Drive shaft
Outer CV joint
Some kind of gaiter?

How much am I looking at for parts from ECP, etc (anywhere but Renault)?

Ah it's listed under 1.1, that's why I couldn't find anything!

Thanks mate.

I wish mine were that cheap!! Renault want £191.50 plus vat for each side !! and they would charge £250 to fit ! what a con!

 

[Budgie]

Tried Cliospares?

Someone local will fit it for a few quid, i'm sure. It doesn't take long.

i got a recon shaft from renault for 156 and you get 10 notes back for the sur charge

i had a reconditioned offside shaft complete with cv joint boot etc supplied and fitted by a local transmission specialist for £95 last month.

It's a minefield, different shafts for mk1 172, mk2 172, 182, 182 cup

I struggled to get one from a motor factors
