I hate to be wise after the event but a 12 year old modified car should possibly have been on the ramps before you parted with your cash.

Anyway, hope you get it sorted.

ive changed the inners on one of my cars, it went on a bank holiday monday needed it that day found a scrappy, n got a driveshaft for a tenner, planned on just fitting the drive shaft it was the wrong one so just changed the inners, must admit it was a bit of a bugger.

Good luck getting any sort of reply/feedback.
