Was it loose or worn splines? Inner or outer?
Just out of interest.

Tell us more about what the problem was so I/we know what to do in the future.
If you fixed it why did you sell it and to a dealer? Was the Mrs giving you serious brain damage about spending all that cash on the problem?
I had to get rid of my last car (to a dealer) cos I couldn't get rid of a hesitation problem and my Mrs was giving me brain damage about spending cash on it trying to fix it.
If you are into big vast fast Vauxhalls, why not try and hunt down one of the last Senator 3.0i 24v monsters - 204bhp on tap!

outer. the spline shaft was bent but not enough to see the wheel wobble on a ramp but enough to wear the front edge of the spline got a replacement from breakers as i had spent far to much money on it at this point.

question one as above answered.
" two sold it to a dealer as i not longer had any faith in the car and i did not wont to give some poor bloke/lass a money pit ,at least if they buy it from a dealer they will have some come back if the car continues down the same path ie problems.
question three as for being into fast vauxhalls NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AND ESPECIALLY NOT OLD ONES.............. my vec is only 2 years old low miles and top spec and makes an ideal family car and thats it..202 bhp is only 9 more than my vec anyway according to the hand book, and it don,t weigh no were near as much. Dont forget the latter v6 vecs are quad cams and there no slouch, not that i want to get into that it was brought as a family car, my 636 h/l will be my next toy

I have to admire your honesty by using a car dealer to get shot of a car you had lost faith in. I guess you didn't want someone breaking down your door two weeks after you sold it thru the Autotrader!
I did that, lost all faith in my last car (3.0i 24v Senator) so took the £300 p/x against my Beamer offered by the dealer, instead of getting £500 by selling privately cos I quite like my front door you see.

Having somebody at my door was not the problem. The problem was more having to lie to that person and tell them what a great car it was, when all it had been in the last 8-9 months was a money pit.Icould not do that to anyone,im just not that kind of person.
