right I'm most probably going to be slated for going to eurocrap parts to begin with but I've just got new shafts from them .. first of all I say there different ( shaft I had taken off had the bearing housing shaft they gave me was solid ) . I then had manager etc come out and tell me they fit plus another lad in there who had the same issue and said that they fit as he put them on his ph2 aswell ... first shaft lasted from bury to snetterton gate ... 2nd one lasted a whole 10meters before coming apart on full lock . They seem to short to me ! They seem to think it's "a bad batch !"

I'm sure I've read that they are too short from ECP. There's an ebay seller or similar that folks use.

Someone will be along I'm sure.

Thanks mate ... well I've got a full refund from them ATM and there looking into it . Just pissed to lose all my money on the track day aswell . Only positive thing I can take from this is that they didn't give up on full chat on the road or track !

Ah looked at the wrong one. Op wants a none cup 172 at 146?

But yeah the cup ones at 264 are way more than £50 if j&r can supply those.

Nah just got a phone call saying he spent all day tracking one down and has found an original genuine drive shaft . Said it's on special order and will take 2 days to get here ... when it turns up if it's correct I'll post it on here so at least we know they can get the correct parts !

Well here it is .... finally a drive shaft which was the same as I had taken off to start with !
Still don't understand how the other driveshafts are meant to be fine ! This shaft was supposed to be double the price of the original one they gave me .

Just sent the company on the box an email asking prices etc. I wonder if they make them or are genuine Renault?

Not sure I did look aswell . I see they do some designed for motorsport etc . I'm not expert on them but it does look a lot better than the 2 I just gave back .

I've just fitted the drive shaft .. it is close the block but not rubbing . There's no shakes or wobbles from anything . I'm taking it to a mates garage in the morning to get everything checked and tracking set up properly .

What cover is missing ? As it stands the shaft is mirror image of what the original one was I removed over a week ago ?
