Well i've told the collection firm to hold off until I tell them I want it collecting.
Have taken the old drag link off and waiting for a new one £31.50 inc postage,
Had a good look underneath and its only a bent radius arm and a leaking diff where the propshaft has pushed into the casing as its a solid prop with no sliding mechanism. I had to replace the front prop with a new one for £100 when I bought the car 4 years ago as there was a shimmy whilst driving it.Another local garage(not the MOT garage ) quoted me about 300 quid to repair the old one lol. I told him I could buy a new one for 100 and paid 35 to get the MOT garage to fit it.Needless to say I never went back to the 1st garage (rip off merchants). Mind you I only paid £900 for the vehicle in the first place. When I bought it someone had taken the cd player and dsp amp out - rare as hen's teeth these days, found one online in Kiev for £100.
Replaced the bottom tailgate and straps, fixed the rear wiper motor as it was jammed, both front window winder mechanisms, new keyfob and ignition barrel and drivers door lock, new Cooper Weathermaster tyres all round, wheel cenre caps,discs and calipers and hoses all round, brake backplates and hoses, aircon condensor and dryer, rocker gaskets, brake accumulator, gearbox and filter fluid drain and refill £300, becm motherboard, clear front indicators, plugs and HT leads, rear loadcover, drivers seat base as leather was damaged, recoloured the leather on the steering wheel. Also replaced all 4 door cards (lightstone beige) and water shedders. Got it 100% sorted and this happened. Gutted is an understatement.
