Leaking Driveshaft

[Fred@BTM]

Damn :S

What about the bigger clip then? Because that has actually come unclipped.

that's probably from the out CV nearest the wheel

It looks like its from the bigger one which connects to the box. I'm not sure though. Big problem or...?

I just checked the CV nearest the wheel and it has in fact slipped off and the clip is missing. I'm going to get another clip for this but will anything of leaked from this? Should I do anything else?

Thanks

Also, what size jubilee clip will I need?

I went Halfords and they didn't have a clip big enough. Does anyone know where I can get a bigger jubilee clip?

you've created yourself work there, no need to remove that clip, if you'd unbolted the gaitor from the box and removed the driveshaft you could've simply pushed it back on without the need for a new clip

Doh! If I'd seen this at around 2.30pm today I'd have also saved myself a bit of hassle
