Please help a novice 182 owner

[Cullen]

Driveshafts, i know its been covered 1 million times but im completely lost and need this sorting. this is the 3rd shaft from a company and i dont know whats going on. i have given my reg too so im wondering if the car has differnt hubs or something.

Reg is YD05MBC i was told by previos owner it was a full fat aswell, but coming from this for the last 10 years of track abuse the clios have me baffled

right insert picture of dodgy drawing

This is my standard original shaft size, does this mate up with a clio 182, when the company entered the reg it came back as a cup.

Newish shaft after i installed it,

As you can see the newish one i was supplied with seems to be the same except this part which is 10ish mm bigger and has torn the boot.

any help appreciated

car will get more than a chopped flange soon if this carries on

Another thing seeing as these are second hand could it be that the company put a new clip on the boot and that the clip is too far up the shaft, and has caught the block and twisted the boot. the clip on inspection looks new and tamperes with

Think that covered most of it.

Pretty sure the original boots were swaged flush into the metal cover. This looks like it has a replacement boot fitted over the metal cover which is exactly what i did when my boot tore.
