Neighbour came to me with her car making an awful grinding noise at pretty much every speed (although changing gear just fine)
I inspected and, sure enough, both drive shafts have split boots, grease everywhere, clanking when I turned them. So got a couple of driveshafts ordered.
Took one off today and found a huge amount of play in the output flange on the driver's side. The solitary 6mm hex holding it in was tight - so no play there - and when I undid it this fell out...
Whatever this bolts into inside the gearbox (which didn't drop a single bit of fluid) is bone dry and rattling around with finger pressure
Gearbox rebuild required? Or more likely a replacement?
