why would you buy one from vauxhall?? get one for half that at a motor factors..
Couldve snapped for a few reasons, height, alignment problem, lots of things..

Cant get pics mate as the old shaft has to go back to vaux (exchange thing)
But basically the tiny bit after the circlip was clean cut !!

It's difficult to get inner CV's from Motor Factors. For some reason they don't do them so you have to buy the shaft kit from Vauxhall.

... And an inner CV on it's own costs more than a driveshaft kit.

Yeah I was told Id be as well to get the whole shaft rather than an inner cv due to it being more expensive on its own !
