Got the shaft replaced. The guys in the garage nearby, came out on saturdat afternoon. got under the car and cut the remains of the shaft off to stop it swinging around, they towed the car back to the garage, 1/2 mile approx. They ordered the shaft on Saturday. I picked the car up today runs very well. As a bonus the folding mirrors have now started working?????????? £250 all in. Not bad huh. If anyone is near North Wales these guys have all SNAP ON equipment. Code readers etc.
