Got replacement driveshaft today. I've drained box fluid again and flushed it, took the other new shaft out, cant see anything wrong with the CV joint. Replaced with the new one that arrived today.
Also replaced lower wishbone balljoint as old one was obviously split.
I was really careful installing the new shaft with CV. I am putting a new box seal on tomorrow on the other side and replacing offside balljoint as well for good measure.
I am hoping this solves it and there is no more knocking. If it does not olve it I will check over the car especially the mounts, but i I can't see anything then I am sadly going to have to dismantle the gearbox and diff, which means car off the road for unknown time span. If there is damage inside and ot costs too much I will leave car in garage and break it over time.
Amen on using only genuine shafts. I cataclismically nuked a driveshaft in half when smashing it into 2nd gear, certainly went with a bang out the back of the car had to recover it from the road lol, ask snowman :D
Was a pattern part williams shaft i got from eBay, got a genuine shaft and havent had a problem since, neither knocked on full lock though.
