    Someone not far from me is breaking a 205 diesel; the driveshafts are made by Da Silva and have not had much use. I've checked their part numbers, 195T and 196T, which come up as suiting the 1.6 GTi and CTi (for 1989 but bizarrely the "103hp" model; they don't advertise one for a 115hp!) for 1989. Firstly, the engine etc has been removed and dragged, resulting in the O/S driveshaft CV joint being locked over around 90 degrees, and won't return to the straight position (using only moderate force). Advice as to how to return the joint to the correct orientation without damage would be appreciated. Is any damage likely to have been caused to the joint? Secondly, Da Silva is a new name to me, but their site shows they've been manufacturing transmission components since the 60s. Can anyone offer comment on the quality/longevity of Da Silva driveshafts?

    This problem has returned to annoy! Car runs fine when cold, but once hot, & more so when very hot, it will cut out when you start to accelerate. Doesn't happen all the time, & is most likely to occur during heavy/stop-start traffic, or accelerating once a really slow git has finally turned off in front! I'm pretty certain this time round that it's simply a bad connection somewhere...electrical resistance increases with heat. When I had this trouble 2 or 3 years ago, swapping everything in sight made no difference, but cleaning all terminals did. Trouble is, which one/ones was it?! Advice as to which connections to concentrate on please!
