Firstly, I've been an idiot.
Started with good intentions, previous posts related to axle swop. Thought I'd give it a pre mot check over and noticed ball joint not right. Fortunately, or unfortunately as it turns out, I had a ball joint kicking around and set to changing it.
Stupidily, I didn't follow the instructions to the letter. Long story short, set off for test drive and it moved about a foot before drive shaft and ball joint popped out.
Tomorrow morning MOT now cancelled.
In a right old pickle now, running out of time, money and inclination.
Gaiter is split in middle, a pretty hefty spring has sprung and bent, revealing CV joint.
Thanks for listening, phone now about to die ?
