After my rest in Russia and getting back to unmothballing the 306 the ABS warning pops on. It is off down to my local garage and a diagnostic with his wireless tablet sized tool. It says a sensor fault exists. With more checks he shows me the nearside front sensor is showing the wheelspeed when he rotates it so it is fine The offside sensor doesn't pick up the wheel speed. and he shows me the ring has broken The solution is to change the ring at the outer end or just fit a new drive shaft. Now I don't want to have to mess around fitting a new ring and that anyway costs around £40 and a work charge of about £80. A new drive shaft fitted solves the problem with a charge about the same and a drive shaft at around £80 . So the thinking is a new shaft removes any future problems for a long time and I don't want to mess arouns doing the job myself which I could do. HINT.However this short post shows you what the defect is and the ring is behind the wheel at the end of the joint. The ring is supposed to rotate along with the shaft and as it is broken it can not.
If it can break it will. Matter over mind will fix it.
