Not at all, can get a refurbished rear axle for about £100 i believe and the driveshaft is so easy to replace..

There is guides on here

Do it yourself mate.

Driveshafts are simple.

Beam, you might want to pay a Garage to do that, as I tried to do mine on Axle stands and the car fell on me.

Not expensive though. :)

Where did you get that from? They're like £100 on eurocarparts and they require you to send your broken one. :S

Hmmm I'll have a more detailed talk with my mechanic tomorrow and maybe get a 2nd opinion. Can anybody link me to the guide for the driveshafts please? So which is more the price of a back axel? £100 or £300?

I got mine from a place called Dingbro, they supply our garage with parts so we get money off.

What about ebay - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=saxo+mk2+driveshaft&_sacat=See-All-Categories not bad prices
