Have you spoken with a VW specialist? Boris at VolksCare in Bayswater has been helpful.

Gave Boris a call this morning.Very helpful bloke,he said a while ago he was onto some old stock parts which included some CV joints,he's making inquiries.
My inquiries so far all point to unavailability of new CV joints.

I want to change all CV's because the car's done 210 k,if one is worn the others aren't far behind.
Change-over driveshafts with new CV's fitted negates the need to confirm if your orig. shafts are straight and saves time.
If I could get a new CV to replace the worn one I can clock the shaft at work and this would get me out of trouble for now,but when the next one fails I'll be kicking myself.

Thanks for all your advice guys

Owning,driving and working on these cars is fun.

Finding parts however,......not so jolly.
