Hi had my car checked by a friend whos a mechanic (hgv) he says i have an oil leak on the nearside driveshaft, and it need new oil seals or even maybe new drive shafts.

He rekons its quite a big job any experiences of this ?

I hate to use main "Stealer" for this job but dont want a bodge doing on the driveshafts.

Any help much appreciated like cost difficulty of job etc.

Try www.eurocarparts.com, think there about £70 each.

Its a new shape 2000 v70 T5.its a simple job any competant garage could do it and dont fall for the line main dealers are better than any one else they aint they just charge more, in most cases a good independant makes far more sense

Post up your location and I am sure someone will recommend a good independent in your area.

AB GELDERS , Swallownest Rd, Sheffield are an independent, cheaper than a dealer by far.
