Sounds like it's been left to long and all the grease has come out and run dry, thus knackering the drive shaft, i'm going for not cheap.

 

[Rachel Anne]

whats do you think then? xx

CV joints are under boots on the driveshaft, If they are not packed with grease the break quickly.

Yours sound farked tbh
They are a part of the driveshaft, so you need a new shaft.
as a guide GSF do them for about £70 each, for NON sport models.
Don't go to renault. That will be bloody expensive.

 

[Mark One]

oh and also, labour wont be much. About an hour, hour and a half per shaft maybe

 

[Rachel Anne]

thanks

A shaft from renault will be circa £150, which side is shot? The drivers or passenger side? Passenger side will want the gearbox oil changing as well as you'll lose it all when you take the shaft out.

You able to do it yourself? I'm not far away if help is needed.

 

[Rachel Anne]

oh sod!!!! passenger side! :S thanks ever so much for the offer! i think my dad can help me! thats not too bad! i was expecting like 250! Rach xx
