KIA Picanto 2004 Model - U/S Driveshafts - Peter

The daughter in law has been advised by two garages that both driveshafts need replacing.

The downside is that the new parts must come from South Korea, with a waiting time of six weeks and a total cost for the job of £960.00. Not good as she only paid £1700.00 for the car.

Would anyone know of a workshop in the locality of Bristol/Swindon that can overhaul these 'shafts or have some in stock?

There is a company in Coventry who can but time and distance cause problems.

Thanks in advance.

There's a couple of used ones on e-bay:

Thank you for that url.

Another search on E-bay found a company in Bristol who had the goods.
