Driveshaft ripoff?
Well i found out last week that apparently both of my driveshafts were knackered, so i took it into a garage around ilkeston and had them done.
Ended up costing £261, can't helping feeling like iv been ripped off  .
Have I? Or isnt that too bad

Driveshaft replacement is easy and doesnt take long, should've done it yourself but you'll learn the hard way i'm afraid, i payed £300 for front discs doing before , got burnt quite bad.

I've done same mate. I paid £200 for have my 2 driveshafts replaced 
It's not that you have been ripped off, it's just that you could have done it yourself cheaper.
Ah well, I learnt my lesson, so did you
