no its £29.99 but you have a £20 surcharge which means you need to pay 50 quid go away fit new one come back with the old one and get your £20+ VAT back.

reading their small print you only get your 20 surcharge back if they deem your returned part serviceable.....as if they are ever gunna do that! esp after i bashed it with a hammer.

I have never had a problem.

If its the drivers side one stick it back in its gaiter etc and they won't know. I find making it very oily and greasy means they just lok and don't inspect it.

erm...cut the gaitor off....cant get the tripod off....hit with hammer...not sure about its usefulness anymore.

shame as it was perfect...in fact in retrospect i could have got away without removing the gaitor....sigh...live and learn....

still it needed an out gaitor too...new gaiters (if u have to go to renault) are about 30quid...so may as well just get a whole new shaft for 40-50....

I always go for new shafts, they are just as cheap inthe long term really.

Now if you weren'y miles away I woudl give you a 1.4 shaft you could have used for a surcharge swap.
