Mark,
Coming to this thread a bit late as been on hols. Why not go for a
whole recon. drive shaft? We did that for Colin's coupe and it was
quite reasonable on an exchange basis. He had sheared the splines on
his and lost all drive, but no problem on exchange.

It just gets worse. Having driven to Newbury to collect the new cv
joint, I found that in the kit they supply the cv joint and the
rubber part of the boot. The metal part that goes between these is
not supplied. What is really frustrating is it is actually this bit
that is badly damaged on my car!! Further investigation reveals
that this part is also not supplied with the boot kit and no-one
knows where to source it from. An hour of looking through the books
brought forth a revelation... a similar part is supplied in a boot
kit for one of the vw range. We will see shortly if this is going to
work.
Update... Just had the call from Partco, apparently the metal part
of the boot is close enough to be useable so here we go on another
60 mile round trip. I will let you know more details upon my return.

I had a long chat with Darren at Inchcape ford in Bracknell. He had
to make a couple of calls but the upshot of it was that ford are no
longer supporting the mkII fiesta. They have a number of parts at
their clearance warehouse but it would appear that once they run out
it is pattern parts only. He did, however, give me the ford part
number which I was able to crosscheck with the part I ordered from
Partco in Newbury. The guys there couldn't have been more helpful
and really knew their stuff. Much Impressed.
