Just get a new driveshaft  They arent that expensive if you shop around.
Why is everyone so scared of repairing their cars??

just got the invoice there, they seem to think it could be the O/S centre bearing.
as for fixing it myself, i'm a joiner to trade, so if i canny fix it with a hammer & plane, i'm fooked
it's also needing another set of front disc's, f******g 4th set, i'm sure the inside caliper is not working right.
time for a trade in maybe

Might be an idea to have the brakes looked at by a professional before fitting another set of discs & pads then

Either:
Your driving like a tit
OR
Cheap nasty parts are being fitted.
Brembo for discs & Ferodo Premier for the pads.
Make sure both the calipers are in good working order before fitting the new pads & discs.

Excessive Braking, Tailgating or your calipers are not releasing (siezed) If thats the case, we have calipers in stock so be sure to ask a price before buying new.
Also the driveshaft would be 10 pounds postage.
