So now that i have calmed down a bit and the correct driver side shaft has turned up
i will get that put on the car on friday and hope that sorts that out
i also noticed the part number has changed so the old part for the 1.4 and 1.6 is 13250861 CH and the new part number for the 1.4 and 1.6 is 13335141 AAFT
Also the new drive shaft has a metal plate on the end wheel side the old one does not have this
it looks like it slots in the hole in the hub may be it holds that end in better
so there has been some sort of change to the design
may be this is to improve the knocks from the drivers side people have been reporting maybe ?
or it may be just a dust cover for the back of the wheel bearing
the older one looks like this with no plate on the end
but that is the other side of the newer one just to show you the difference
so ignore the threaded bit
so just gotta wait now.
