If its just the UJ thats gone Dunning Fairbanks can replace them even though they are staked, they have done quite a few MX5 props for kit cars.

They quoted me £85 + VAT to shorten, balance and replace both UJs. I didnt need UJs in the end so it was only £45 + VAT to shorten and balance which by my reckoning is £20+VAT per UJ.

That sounds like a bargain! I think I emailed them yesterday, along with a load of other propshaft specialists, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Incidentally, when I was googling MX5 propshaft repairs forum posts kept popping up from Westfield SDV owners with failed rear UJ's...

Here's the response from D&F:

Price to replace your UJ will be £55.00 + vat
A new shaft will be £160.00 + vat, made to length.

Just don't consult me on how to mount your diff

[james3004]

My diff is the least of my problems at the moment! lol

I'll be amazed if I can ever get it to move under its own steam!

I got drivelink in team valley close to me to shorten mine. It was 35 plus vat.

If you phone ak automotive 01207544071 in rowlands gills. Ask for frazer and say you know me " the guy buying all the bits for the kit car" he should have about 20 on the shelf and cheap.
I will pop along collect it drop it off at drivelink and post it to you after I'm back from my hols! As long as you give me the correct length!

Thanks for the offer David!
I sent my shaft off for repair yesterday and only just seen this though
I might just be giving you a shout if they can't repair it!
