KaspaCti 0 Posted May 21, 2007 Hi, I was just having a look on Euro Car Parts website and noticed that they are selling cheap 1.6 driveshafts. The passenger side is only £32.49 plus vat and the drivers side is £34.40 plus vat. This seems very cheap! They are listed as being manufactured by Q-Drive who I have not heard of before. Has anyone had any experience in terms of the quality of these driveshafts? I'm just putting everything back together on my CTi and although I'm not aware of any problems with the existing driveshafts they do look like they have been on the car for quite a while. I'm tempted to bung a couple of the Q-Drive ones on at that price, provided that they aren't complete rubbish. Especially as I don't fancy repeating removal of the driveshafts in the near (or distant) future Lets just say it didn't go well and If I'd had a swear box I'd be on two weeks holiday by now Cheers Sean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyFlare 0 Posted May 21, 2007 i dont know how good the shafts are but thats the right price if your drive shafts are in a serviceable condition. If not you have to pay a surcharge of £20+ on new drive shafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not you have to pay a surcharge of £20+ on new drive shafts Cheers DirtyFlare, Must admit I thought they were cheap, not bought driveshafts before but I thought they were normally around £55 - 60 each plus the surcharge if you didn't have the old ones to exchange? Still might get them at that price but just wondered if anyone had any experience of these Q-Drive driveshafts because I won't bother if they are going to disintegrate after 6 months .

inferno 1 Posted May 21, 2007 only issues i have through work with euro parts... they sometimes have to send 5 different shafts and still they send the wrong ones!!! quality wise, never had one go wrong in an unusually short timescale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again Sean Just picked up the driveshafts and they certainly look absolutely fine. Interesting thing was that Euro Car Parts didn't want the old ones and no surcharge to pay either, bargain all round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Im happy with my ecp shafts, one word of warning check them over like a hawk, as it took me a few times to get the correct ones! Edited May 25, 2007 by Alastairh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
