I have a clonk-clonk noise when I move from standstill or when crawling in 1st and blipping the gas.
I had a look under the car today and the O/S outer CV boot had a nick in it and there was virtually no grease in it.
I superglued the nick, refilled with grease and put a new clip on.
There is what looks like a lot of slop in the outer CV.
The inner wobbles about a fair bit, where as the N/S Inner is solid.
I figured the CVs are both kaput and ordered a complete driveshaft with CVs off ebay today.

The diff looks OK as there is no delay in the old "turn one wheel and see how long the other takes to turn..."
Being a Vauxhall man, I've not seen this inner-bolt-on Driveshaft-flange malarkey before.
To change the shaft complete, can I undo the spline bolts from the inner CV, drop it down - this should free the inner clear.
Undo the driveshaft nut, press the drive shaft out of the hub.
Re-assemble in reverse?
Any help would be great as I don't want to strip it down only to find that I cant do it that way!
Thanks Again.
