Hopefully my new driveshaft turns up Tomo and is the right one.

 

[imprezaworks]

Well the new shaft has arrived with the correct abs ring. Getting it fitted Thursday all being well

 

[ADS_V6]

Make sure you fit it the right way round this time edd china

 

[Clio_fool]

Do you actually do any work? Seems you spend all day polishing your car! There'll be no bloody paint left in it soon. [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[imprezaworks]

There is a debate on wether I do much work. It's a Sunday, a day of rest imo

Doesn't your manager mind when you clean the car at work?

 

[imprezaworks]

I am the manager. Use that word loosely tbf. Me on sales and the owner.

See the rusty rb in the background having the wings replaced with a bit of polyfiller and yesterdays sun

 

[imprezaworks]

Driveshaft fitted from j&r. Zero issues and no more clicking. £50 delivered brand new

 

[imprezaworks]

Oh and a big thank you to @bloke for fitting it. His work/help as Allways is spot on

 

[Mr Plums]

Do they fit ok? I've heard that they are slightly the wrong size and arn't as strong as oem.

My mate got one for his gsi and it shredded it on the outside join iirc.

 

[imprezaworks]

Fitted fine. Others have used them, 2 year warranty too. The shaft is solid steel unlike the oem ones iirc. Looked fine and drives great. You know me though, any issues and it will be resolved

 

[ADS_V6]

Great news it fitted ok mate,i know Carl said your car has same part numbers of a Robin reliant.Least you didn't get shafted

 

[imprezaworks]

Your a shaft of sorts

 

[ADS_V6]

Your a legend of sorts

Did he manage too get the new gearbox from the rover metro in?

 

[imprezaworks]

Cleaned because bank holiday and stuck in work , off the rest of the week though

 

[imprezaworks]

 

[realnumber 1]

Looking as clean as ever.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers mate, hope your well.

Still got the inferno?

 

[realnumber 1]

Cheers mate, hope your well.

Still got the inferno?

I'm well cheers, yourself? Yeah still got the inferno although it's being repaired by the insurance company at the moment. Neighbours on the campsite we were on in France reversed into it:disappointed:.

Should have it back on Friday though so all good kind of.

 

[imprezaworks]

, sad times mate. Yeah all good thanks. Cars going well, works ok etc etc. Nice to see you on here, thought you had vanished lol

 

[realnumber 1]

Ha, still on a fair bit, just not posting as much as busy with other stuff recently...

Where unequal length driveshafts are used, their torsional stiffness must be made equal. This can be accomplished by making the shorter shaft hollow, and the longer shaft solid.

 

[imprezaworks]

So in a word, it's ok?

 

[flebay]

Do they fit ok? I've heard that they are slightly the wrong size and arn't as strong as oem.

I fitted a j&r to a megane and it lasted a week before the outer cv developed play and made a knocking noise when pulling away. I know they have a 2 year guarantee but that wont cover the labor cost and customer getting annoyed.

 

[imprezaworks]

And then on the flip side people have used them and have been spot on. Time will tellz

Awaits the drive too work in morning clunk,click bang

 

[Stay Puft]

Just had a suspected oil leak diagnosed by Rentech as the driveshaft was yours the drivers side? @imprezaworks

 

[imprezaworks]

Passanger side but no visible leaks. It got repacked on a previous mot after the boot was split. Just a matter of time sadly. J&r were top to deal with mate.

 

[Stay Puft]

It isnt the boot that's gone, its the first bit closer to the gearbox which is battered

 

[imprezaworks]

The cv. Easy enough for them to do. Making a clicking noise?

 

[Stay Puft]

No bud, no noises at all yet. It's all misted with oil and must have been flicking it all around the engine bay which is what made me think I had an engine oil leak

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah ok cool. Simple fix all being well mate.

 

[Mr Plums]

Inner cv boots arn't really changeable either iirc.
