My car is a 2001 206cc 2L. The nearside driveshaft gaiter has split, so I bought a driveshaft off ebay.
Checking the shaft in the vice, i can feel some play in the outer CV joint, when I try and rotate it. Does this sound OK? Sould there be any movement?
The inner end is fine, I can't feel any rotational play.
Thanks . Rich

only very very little play should be observed when you turn it by your hand.

why did you buy a drive shaft, why not buy just the gaiter

i had both mine replaced recently because of the same problem although i only needed one. for the price of the whole thing it seems sensible to just replace the whole thing, and if ones going the others probably not to far behind. i think i payed £84 for both of them and the cars nice and smooth when turning now.
