Ape spec 0 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So, yesterday whilst crawling through a multistory at 5mph looking for a space, the (drivers side) driveshaft snapped.Cue a three and a half hour wait for the RAC (bearing in mind I had my two week old son with me) and an approx £350 bill.Has anyone else experienced anything similar?I was more than a little surprised really, the rola's only done a smidge over 50k, and it's not like I've been ragging it around like a seventeen year old virgin in a vauxhall corsa, especially not since the birth of my lad.I could've half understood it if I had my foot down, but walking pace? I'm just glad It didn't go on one of the ramps in the multistory.Is this a weak point on the car? I defiantly haven't been bouncing off any kerbs or over speed bumps at silly speeds in my period of ownership before someone brings up that old chestnut! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marc4242 0 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi PhilI comment on whether it's common, I would find it hard to believe it was. I don't remember hearingof a drive shaft just breaking on any car, what did the RAC man say? You have me worried now, asmine is at 55k!Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
