Driveshaft seal? That'd be a CV boot wouldn't it?

Pretty ridiculous service bill for such a new car.

This on the ST220?

Good going, quite a bit of it is just consumables but is the idea to destroy it under warrenty?

What car is it?

Wayn0r · 15 Nov 2006 at 16:54

its a mondeo st220, and i have a bad case of lead foot, everywhere.

my motto, why buy a car unless your going to drive it!?

i think a lot of it was due to spending a short while driving on really horrible potholed roads everyday.

the poor thing she is gonna get pampered soon

EDITED: edited first post, i was day dreaming, its the crank shaft seal not the driveshaft.

Unless he wheelspins it off the line all the time, it shouldn't need a new driveshaft.

nah its normally a seal where the driveshaft going into the gearbox to stop gear oil getting all over your nice block paved driveway making it smell like the local feral tomcat has claimed its territory under your car!

sorry i stink of gear oil been changing a driveshaft on my 205stdt and i forgot how much it smells like cats urine
