It needed a simple job doing to replace a split gator and two front ball joints. Garage called back later on to say during the test drive, the drive shaft had got mangled up and they will have to source another - and this part needs to come from Sweden they said! It was their fault so they are going to pay for it they said. So some monkey-wrench couldn't re-locate a drive shaft properly by the sound it and its broken on the shaft ending, but they're saying the gearbox coupling is still ok... So question is, will this have damaged the drive shaft or gearbox mechanism irreparably? What else could be "mangled" as they've stated? And, how will I be able to tell anyway? Yours faithfully in despair. __________________ Volvo V40 1.8 Petrol SE 2003
