Drive shaft cv joint play

[Landmark]

Hi Folks,
Can anyone please tell me how much play (if any) is acceptable in the drive shaft inner and outer CV joints. Up & down/rotational/in & out.
My reason for asking is yesterday there suddenly appeared excessive vibration through the steering wheel and I have checked all the steering and suspension components (Steering shaft/ball joints/wheel bearings/wheels for loss of balance weights/coil springs) and the only play I can find is in the inner n/s driveshaft joint,
Vehicle - 2002 1.4 Multispace No ABS.
Thanks,
Griff
Ps I'll post this in the Mk2 section as well as I believe they're similar

So, bit the bullet and changed the n/s driveshaft and once it was out (and comparing to the new one) there was play in the outside joint. Did the oil seal as well.
