Yes, a propshaft with 2 (count 'em) 2, unserviceable, unreplaceable CV
joints. Vicki Brit lists it for something like $400. Rimmer currently
stocks them for around 84 pounds or so. When I had to get one for my '8, I
think it was something like $180 US after postage and duty.
The other way to go on that is to get a shaft made up with real U joints.
I don't really remember, but I think you might be able to use TR6 yokes.
The cost on that works out to be about the same, so I just went with OEM
equipment. I'll regret that in about ten years ...
