Part of me doesn't really want to post here again...after all...how much of a fargon idiot can any one person confess to being.
But here I am, 18 months later, and about to pay for "another" drive shaft replacement...and it's the passenger side which I didn't need replacing in the first place !!!
Oh dear.
When my drivers side went, my then local mechanic told me modified splines were available for both sides, and seeing as I was getting the discs done at the same time, he recommended and I accepted getting both shafts done.
However when I picked it up he then told me that when the parts arrived he noticed the passengers side was not modified - and that it hadn't needed to be replaced - but he had done it because he had the part.
I believe they were genuine vw parts - but didn't get to sight them - because he said he had to exchange the old ones?
As suggested here, I have now moved to a VW specialist mechanic and took the vehicle in for what I thought was a steering knock fault - but he is certain it's the passenger side drive shaft.
So I can only assume the part itself was faulty - maybe it was not genuine - or they didn't use enough grease.
