Driveshaft supplier
 
I need to replace a drive shaft and normally go to either eurocar parts or a friendly local motor factors for parts. Problem is, the factors seems to have closed down and ECP are listing Q Drive which I don't really fancy.

Plenty advertised elsewhere, from 40 quid up to 300, but does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks, Barry

What for, a Vw, Suzuki, jet-boat, hay bale elevator???
I'm just curious......

Might be good to at least edit your profile to tell us what car you have.

Its a 2003, V70 2.4T, auto

Really just after a recommended make/supplier.

A work colleague used this company recently and rated them highly.
£50 for a complete driveshaft is dirt cheap.
Volvo probably charge that for a cv boot. :)

Thanks for that. I saw them advertising, but was just was worried they were too cheap! Worth a try though and they seem to be an established outfit

2 years on, any idea if they are still good?
I can't believe they are so cheap, and it worries me.

Yes, the colleague I mentioned still has the driveshaft working fine.
It's on aTransit minibus too so it doesn't have an especially easy life.
