Wrong driveshaft
Recently, alarmed by a grinding noize from a driver side wheel area, I removed the wheel and spotted that the gator on the driveshaft gearbox side is torn.
Long story short, I'm forced to replace the whole driveshaft but it seems I can't get the correct one. Ordered one from a shop, took it to my local garage and they say it doesn't fit. Reluctantly I've agreed for the garage to order one and the same thing happened, it doesn't fit. The mechanic is saying that the shaft should be without the ring/sensor and the two that we ordered came with the silver ring. Could you help me out to order the correct one, please?

I bought my 2007 S80 2.4 D in March. I've had a fair bit of work done on the car since I've owned it, but I think its good maintenance & with it having 102,000 miles, some of the major items were more or less due anyway. Here's what I've had done:
-Oil changed with a new oil filter (Basic service at a Volvo Independent Specialist, as it had a full service in 2018 at a Volvo main dealer). -Coolant changed (Volvo specialist) -Power Steering fluid replaced (Done myself) -Transmission fluid flushed & replaced (Volvo specialist) -Software update for gearbox (Volvo specialist) -Timing belt replaced (Volvo specialist) -Auxilliary belt replaced, A/C belt replaced with a new tensioner (Done this weekend with genuine Volvo parts) -Rear Trailing arm bushes replaced (Volvo specialist) -Four wheel Hunter alignment (Kwik Fit) -Four new tyres -Brake booster/servo replaced (Replaced by a Volvo Specialist, as the original one was hissing & you could hear it inside the car) -New Volvo wiper blades -New halogen bulbs for the front lights. I think the bulbs are known as being "Ice white", or something like that. Basically, they look like Xenon's, but they aren't. The light from the original bulbs wasn't very good, so I changed them myself. - New Yuassa battery purchased from Halfords that come with a five year warranty Last edited by Kev0607; Jun 23rd, 2019 at 23:44. |

I think my car could do with a regas. Did you use one of those tins that you can buy in places like Halford's?

Replaced smashed indicator-in wing-mirror lens with a non Volvo part. It looks exactly the same as the real thing and cost half the price delivered from China. The original was made in the UK so heaven help us after Brexit when the Chinese are going to be all over us!
