Yep - £400 still as need both parts of the shaft...

Splines on the shaft... I dont want to throw more money at a used part - no idea if its any good, whether the part is in good condition etc or even has good condition splines... no second hand driveshafts in the North East that we could find so my cousin could inspect the part before installing...

Aaarrgh! Quick history - bought my Accord froma dealer who lied about the driveshafts being replaced - got £600 off him by threatening to take it to Trading Standards. Have managed to replace 1 passenger driveshaft as I could get the part - despite trying very hard to locate a driveside shaft...

When I was exploring what the issue was with mine... My mechanic put in on the ramp and drove it up to 70 mph - you could see the passenger wide wheel bounce arounf but the drivers side was not moving... I'm aving my passenger drive shaft replaced this week.

Hi I am having trouble replacing my driveshafts on my 2004 2.4l Accord Manual. My garage says that his suppliers cant supply one... Anyone had any expeirence of these...

No original 17 alloys with buidget tyres. I have swapped the tyres around and rebalanced them. That was the first thing I did.

Ok, Got the money off the garage that sold me the car - put it into my garage - they put it onto the ramp and could see the wheel wobble on the passenger side. They replaced the inner CV joint as they couldnt source a driveshaft... its so frustrating but it had minimal impact - the wobble has...

Surely an Mot history check would show this not to be true.

Refund of £650 to replace the two driveshafts about to be completed... I am glad he saw sense and realised that the car wasnt as he had advertised and he has taken responsbility. All sorted by the end of the week. Leigh

Any updates on this as my boot does this also?

Hi, Sorry if this has been discussed at length... I did search but couldn't find it. My 2004 Accord Estate 2.4L has the automatic boot open off the key fob... when I press it - it tries to open but doesn't... The auto close off the boot button when it is opening still works... I'm guessing...

Interestingly he email me today asking how we can resolve this and that he would offer me a partial refund to allow me to replace the driveshafts... I'm sure the letter sent using the consumer Direct website re. legal action has shown him my intent so hopefully I can resolve this with a refund...

If he didnt realise... why did he put it in main text advert of the Autotrader Add - selling it as a job done and positive of the car. His responsibility to check the car matches the advert that he has made...

He's never missed a beat on my other cars over the years... potentially when I told him that the driveshafts were changed last year he didnt even consider them... We'll see...

Oh - so really no one won as I said the driveshafts had been done and they hadn't! No digital high fives for anyone... Anyone know the price for new driveshafts when not done by a main dealer...
