Mine only went mate cos the bearing collapsed and caused the wheel to labour the shaft which snapped If i had replaced it straight away i could have saved mucho £££'s

When you turn and the bad CV is on the outside, then accelerate with the wheels still turned it will click loud....

It is running about 300bhp though, think a normal XE should be far better..
