The saga continues! Could not get the inner cv joint out from the gear box so I separated the rubber boot and pulled the tri-bearing out. So I now have the shaft out, knocked off the outer cv joint no probs, tried the new cv joint on it , too big for the shaft! AAAGGGHHHH!!!!
Having spoke to the cv joint suppliers, 99% of the joints are this one, but the other one ( which they dont stock ) they will have to fly from Holland.
I also have a complete shaft from a T4, BUT this is not the same either.............
Have you ever thought you are cursed at some point!

GRRRRR

Oh, the joys of motoring!

I thought the ABS sensor sat in the spindle.
