Afternoon all.
I've already bought the complete nearside driveshaft as the CV joints aren't available seperately for the autos apparently. When fitting it - more specifically, when removing the old one! - am I likely to lose loads of transmission fluid?! If I do lose some and manage to save it in a clean container, am I OK to simply put that back in via the filler?

Re: '09 Exclusive driveshaft fitting.
I don't know which box is in your car but the AM6 box is built in such a way that the drive shafts can be removed without any fluid loss.
Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.

Re: '09 Exclusive driveshaft fitting.
All done! It only took us ('us' in the loosest sense of the word, I just made coffee and handed my mate the tools, as required! ) about 1hr 15mins, no glitches, no leaks, nice and simple.....and now its nice and quiet too!
As a bonus, he fitted me some LEDs in place of the DRL bulbs while I was there, as one went a couple of weeks ago - the nearside one came out easily, the offside one was an absolute pig to get out, it took almost as long as it did to swap the driveshaft!

That'll be the DRLs all right, a swine of a job!
