Not yet mate, I can't work on it at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I done them tight, and its quite a bit of play in them. I will double check though mate

well since there aren't exactly any off the shelf type driveshafts to fit an xe in a corsa what are youmeant to do if you're outside fitting a new driveshaft but it's not tightening? You're very welcome to go out and get a new shaft but since I could tell it would be completely safe even before I did it I went ahead. Just because its not been done before doesnt make it wrong

no offence mate but i'd suggest speaking to someone in the flesh about it so that they can see how much play there is.
And gary how ironic you say that when your first answer was in fact 100% bullshit

Your probably right mate. But considering there's quite a lot of corsa redtops on here I thought it could of been a common problem with the conversion.
