Peugeot 106 driveshaft replacement

A knocking noise when pulling away with the wheels pointing anyway but straight ahead suggested that a driveshaft might be worn... The left side was replaced first...

The easy way of doing this job is to drop the lower wishbone, thus allowing the leg to be swung outwards so that the driveshaft can be removed.
The rear mounting is released by un-doing two nuts from inside the footwell, the front is a single pivot bolt. This is much easier than removing the brake calliper & releasing the lower ball joint...

The Jury is still out on the non-starting problem of car #2, research so far would seem to point to the injector pump as being the guilty part. Hopefully more research will lead to confirnation of that this week?

Car #1 had a replacement lefthand driveshaft fitted, during which it was noticed that the brake pads were down to their last few miles, so they were replaced later the same day
