So in short, having done some investigating as to why my Citroen GS has been making a clunking noise when pulling away, turns out the rather lovely UJ on the end of the nearside drive shaft closest to the gearbox has either been refitted poorly by a clot or some needle bearings have exploded a long time ago (I've covered barely 20 miles in it yet) and destroyed the end of the drive shaft. Anyway, I have found one on eBay.fr but it says post to france only, but I know from experience sellers will often post abroad if asked nicely. I would like to send a message to the seller along the lines of: "Hello, would you consider posting to the UK? I would be very grateful, this part is very hard to find here! Thank you very much etc." Does anybody speaky le francais? Thanks cool people  |

Bonjour, est-ce que c'est possible que vous pourriez envoyer au Royaume Uni? Il est presque impossible de trouver cette piece ici donc je serais tres reconnaissant.
Please don't use Google translate. It's poop.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

So he comes back here and asks for a translation. Stop being so negative.  |

ermm am I the only one that sees a problem your going to get a message back that you wont be able to read Google Translate is perfectly good for translating stuff so you can understand it, I just wouldn't like to use it to compose a coherent message to a native speaker. Mon écharpe est plein de chouettes danse. Bonté divine! C'est une situation assez pour un homme séduisant pour se trouver face. dbizzle don't cause trouble! I need that driveshaft, I promised my gf a camping trip next week! eek.  Thanks again monsieurs, an updated RR thread coming later. |

If he won't post it to the UK see if you benouzzz on here will take delivery of it for you then bounce it over to the UK. Just a thought.
