Hi everybody !
Iv not been on here properly in a long time and alot of my priorities have changed since earlier on in the year, so unfortunately I will not be going ahead with my original plans for this car  but none the less I shall not be getting rid.... ever!. I need a diesel for work but im going to keep the car standard and take her off the road and keep her as a very clean and garaged model as there cant be many red 180's about now (2009 apparently there were 174).
The problem is I will need to replace the wishbones and driveshafts whilst cleaning her up underneath due to the wear on the bushes and cv joints and ill be honest I dont have a clue where to get some good quality driveshafts and wishbones. Iv read a few things about euro car parts driveshaft being of a poor quality but their lemforder wishbones are good??
Any recommendations will be appreciated! 
Thanks

Wishbones will be OK if they are a decent brand but from experience ECP driveshafts are weedy splndley things whivh will enable your car to run but I wouldn't want to run much power through them. Unless ECP do CV joint kits, I'd go to the Peugeot dealer for new shafts.

hmmm this is the sort of answer I was seeing after a quick google search, I had considered peugeot because iv had items from them before at not bad prices, I know they'll cost more than ecp but lets face it the peugeot parts I have fitted now are original and have lasted nearly ten years so hopefully the new Peugeot parts will last just as long

Check out GSF website for a price. I use them in my rally car with no issues to date. Wishbones are sometimes Quinton Hazel Brand which I find to be great quality. But as Edward explains, Sometimes OE is best for guarantee

Thanks mac , I had a look at gsf and they're not bad prices, they offer premium driveshafts so Id go for them which are a bit more costly but still a bit cheaper than peugeot
