Does this look like a clio 16v driveshaft to you?

Euro car parts cocked up again by the looks of things.

It says clio 1.8 on the box but it's completely different to the original shaft, for a start, how are you supposed to fit that to the splined stub from the gearbox?

Think it's the right side as it's got the inner CV joint, just the wrong shaft all together.

They won't let me return it or exchange it because it was ordered over a week ago.

Bollocks, they can take it back. Not fit for the purpose it was intended.

If you have your receipt and it's not the right part, you are entitled to a refund, end of.

Your statutory rights allow you to take it back up to 28 days after purchase, providing that you have the receipt and the Item is unused.

they will exchange it for you, factors are normaly good like that, they need the repeat buisness.
