I found an inner CV that fitted my F20 from a Vectra 1.8.... But, the F20 was meant to use equal length driveshafts which bolt onto the block... There is nothing much holding the driveshaft on now, which could be a problem right? The CV had a little lock ring thingie on it but that seems to do nothing, can anyone shed any light on how to stop my driveshft popping out, or am I worrying over nothing because when the lot is assembled on the car it is held in place by the hubs?

Nope, the driveshaft is held into the CV correctly, I meant where the CV attatches to the differential in the gearbox... Sorry, my technical descriptions aren't up to much at the moment... Been painting suff with rattle cans, mmmm fumes.

yeah there should be a wire type clip in the groove at the end of the cv that locks it in place.
