driveshaft problems

Postby bretjaso07 on Sat Jun 01, 2013 9:51 am

hi all im stuck and need your help.
my 1993 xr2i 16v's n/s driveshaft has broke so i picked up at second hand one off ebay listed 1.8 xr2i. i removed the old one no problem but when i went to fit the new one it didnt fit. no problem going into the xr3 gearbox but wouldnt go into the hub. after looking at the replacement driveshaft again it has a slightly thicker end with the splines on then the old one. any idea's what have i have bought? the end of my old one is fine so could i just swap it over. or does anyone have one that will fit my car for sale
