  1. So I need to replace the right, aka european passenger, aka long shaft in my 1.4 TU 309. Found a guy willing to sell a pair, pics below. But how can I be sure it's the correct part? Any way to identify if it's for a 1.4 engine, is it interchangeable with other motors? If anyone knows, would be appreciated.
  2. [original post deleted by me] Doh... tried a search, didn't find anything... Now I've found various threads about them... Mod's please delete this thread - Ta!
  3. Hi all, Hope everyone's ok. My 1.6 8v has been back on the road a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it but I have a niggling problem with one or more of the driveshafts. Basically when using more than about half lock, powering on in corners or especially in reverse the driveshaft(s) knock. At slow speeds (backing off the drive/car parks etc.) I can feel it in the steering wheel but when driving along I can't feel it, just hear it. The car has always done this since I've had her (13 years) and the driveshafts that are on now have only done a minimal mileage despite being about 4 years old. Before they went on I went through a number of driveshafts on both sides but even when they're brand new I still get the annoying knocking. The boots are all fine and there are no leaks (I've checked these myself and it has just gone through MOT). As far as I know it's all standard (1989 1.6 8v) so I can't see as there'd be any issues with hubs etc but I'm totally at a loss. Is there anything else that may be causing this knocking or is it just how it is? Thanks for any help. Ian.
