Thanks

im pretty sure some garages has tool to remove inner cv boot which means the drive shaft doesnt have to be removed

Yep was NS driveshaft managed to get one for £51 from Euro car parts with joints happy days Still slight wobble but nowhere near as bad now

Thanks for the info

Another one while I'm on a roll.... When I release my handbrake it pops back up slightly just enough for the light and warning sound to come on so I've had to weigh it down so it doesn't pop up. Any thoughts please?

I've got the "wobble" at about 30mph in 4th gear seems to be intermittent I've read past threads with possible diagnosis most seem to say inner cv joint Has anyone actually got a "hard" cure or likely diagnosis please X reg 1.9 tdi diesel 90bhp

Where's the best place to get your turbo recon and est price

looks like ive got an oil leak coming from head gasket.....gutted been told could tighten bolts on inside to see if it stops worst case whats the worst case? any advice? x reg 1.9 tdi diesel 90 bhp

ta got it sorted

ballpark how much am i looking at for a NS wishbone ? 2000 tdi 1.9 Galaxy?

a mate (untrained eye) has kindly had a look for me as the knocking has now come back and now when i turn the wheel also clicks and knocks. he believes s the wishbone bush is worn. he can see some movement. does this sound right? if so how much u looking at for a new wishbone and fitting....roughly?

this car confuses me. i use it as a cab so high mileage. ive done 500 miles in last 3 days for 2 days ive not had any knocking noise but still some squeaky noise. last night drove 180 miles hit endless speed bumps etc no knocking or squeaky noise talk about confused

really interesting read this thread

yep it's not happened since horn works as it should I use the vehicle as a Taxi been driving all day just gotta sort the drive shaft problem now lol

Will do don't think it will be but I'll look into it anyway I appreciate I'm not the best at describing it but it's a cluck and squeaky noise (like a door hinge opening that needs oiling) :-)

cheers for the info basically best way I can describe is a clunk noise when I pull off in 1st gear also maybe 2nd and when I break to come to a stop. sometimes as I turn the steering wheel also. it does sound like it's coming from nearside however I can feel it through the floor on drivers side I'm gonna look at getting it ordered tomorrow

another update I've put the fuse back in pushed the horn button and all ok up to now been driving for half hour so far and its not reoccurred. fingers crossed it stays that way

update it now makes noise as soon as ignition is on so I pulled fuse 6 to temporarily get rid I'll give what u say a go though Brian thanks

so are you saying I need to change nearside shaft and that should cure the clicking and metal noises?

the rear engine mount was changed a few months ago it was only a salvage one but was in very good condition it's not wheel bearings as no whining I thought initially maybe the cv joint but it does the "clicking" when I pull in a straight line and slowing down as well as cornering after about 3 gear it's not noticeable

it's a continuous horn

forgot to mention no warning lights or anything like that have come up

another one for you guys/girls once again my 2000 Galaxy all of a sudden this morning, the horn went off whilst driving only way to stop it was to switch ignition off and on but it done this a few times. could it be the fuse? I've looked at previous threads but can't find anything related to it apologies if this has been mentioned before any help appreciated

hi all as title suggest I've got a 2000 1.9tdi galaxy currently have problems when I accelerate off from first gear I get a knocking and metal grinding sound. now I've not lost my drive yet but been told likely to be the gear box cv. question is....is this the drive shaft needs replacing? it sounds like noise is from nearside however reading other threads it mentions it would be offside. hope this makes sense and somebody can advise further thanks
