I misplaced a drive shaft end for the front hub and need as drive shaft end (hub end) if anyone around London has one for sale.

Ignore my last post, you need a front, OE Renault 5 driveshaft outer joint to go in the hub, right? I suspect any R5, 9, 11, or 19 one will fit, probably most lower spec clio models too, you can knock the ABS ring off if it fouls. You should be able to find what you need at any local scrappy. Avoid RS models they tend to have a larger spline.

Thanks Dave for that, very useful information. I was hoping to find a drive shaft but will not be able to get the scrap yard over the next few days due to work commitment and was hopping to buy one locally and collect it one evening.

Would I be able to use Clio drive shaft, do they have the same spline as R5?

I'm after a standard R5 drive shaft (or any other Renault with the same spline as R5 drive shaft) I will need the spline end of the drive shaft to keeps the bearings of the front hub in place. The condition of the drive shaft is not important as I will only be using the spline end.
I am currently using a bolt but it's not good enough and need to use a drive shaft end.

I have a spare campus one i'm not using mate, as you only need the cup to hold the wheel bearing tight it should do the job

Hi Mark, many thanks. Can we arrange for me to pick it up?

Lower spec stuff should have, IIRC...as said above not RS models they're defo thicker. Looks like you're sorted though

Thanks Dave,
Yes Markey Mark has kindly helped me out.

It's been a busy time at work and had no time for the work.
I have dropped of the body kit for respray and hope it's done already. I know they were struggling to match the paint.
All the interior is in and I will take some photos this weekend.
