Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anybody experienced a 'snapped' front driveshaft? By that I mean sheared clean through about 15mm from front diff CV joint on the shaft itself. No drama, just one minute fine, next....clattering from the front os! Stranger still as had been replaced at OPC Wilmslow 3000 miles ago? What could make it snap if not manu fault? I bow to your superior knowledge.

POST 2Original post

Never, ever, heard of that before. I would be on to PC Wilmslow like a rocket. Parts have a 2 year warranty, you know.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Fair play to Wilmslow, trailered off on Monday, will be back fixed Friday no quibble
