Halfords to buy a haynes manual so does anyone know a website with this stuff on it?

Surely, you need an outer CV joint or replacement driveshaft?

the mo and want to do some homework before i go back down to the car.

The Volvo owners club is the place to try. Always very helpful when we owned a 480 many years ago, I was a member though

Probably corrosion that caused that. You'll need to take suspension apart to get the driveshaft out .

Amazing to hear you still have one! Valerie the Volvo was my 2nd ever car, and compared to my mates in their crappy escorts and Astras, she was a
beast! Comfy, reasonably quick, and very reliable! She was written off when some old dear drove into the back of me - the insurance paid out and I
bought her back for £50. After 10 mins with a mallet, she was nearly as good as new. We ran her for another 3 years - very cheap motoring!
Good luck with your fix - I am sure you will get it sorted!
