This has a small split that i have seen. How much for a new one? and how easy to fit, do i need any special tools?
Thank you

this drive shaft is the easyer of the two to remove, as you will need to to fit a new inner gaitor,
once you have removed the hub nut and split the lower swivle and track rod end, them place a tray under were the shaft enters the diff to collect about a litre of gear oil on pulling the shaft out, it is recomended you fit a new diff seal before re/fitting the shaft

Andbody know the GSF part numbers of the things I need?
N45064 CV BOOT KIT-INNER XANTIA ALL EXC 2.1TD £9.45
98020 CV JOINT GREASE-0.5 KILO General Use £2.75
Would the above be right?
Plus some gearbox oil as I plan on changing that while I am there.
98048 FUCHS TITAN GEAR OIL 75W-90 1L GENERAL USE-SYNTHETIC BASE £4.70
Is this the right gear oil? And its 2l of this for the box.

The number for the CV boot looks good to me Gav. the kit usually comes with a sachet of grease so you'll likely not need to buy it separately.
The oil is wrong.
Only ever use 75W/80 in a Xantia 'box. Use preferably Total BV or one of the same 75W/80 grades that specifically states it's for use in certain Pug and Cit gearboxes.
Comma do a good 'un amongst others but don't be tempted or fobbed off with anything else despite some factors telling you a 90 grade will be OK. It won't

I once cleaned one up carefully and stuck a bicycle tube patch over the hole. It lasted for a few months until I replaced the gaitercitronut wrote:if it only a small hole you can clean it up with petrol and super glue the hole
