Just been told the abs ring has cracked on my clio campus, he said i could buy a abs ring off ebay but theres a potential the driveshaft could be corroded and theres a risk it wont fit, so hees suggesting i get the driveshaft replaced with it.

What do you guys think??

140 it is all in, is it risky trying just the ring?

A new driveshaft is around £60, so that must mean he is charging £80 for labour.

It is 99% the same job changing a driveshaft and changing an ABS ring on a clio so the labour cost would be the same, £83 all in for the ABS ring.

Did you get a quote for changing the ring only?

Ive gone here for years he has always been reasonable with prices and is part of the good garage scheme so i dont think he is trying to rip me off nor can i be arsed shopping around as i dont trust any othet garage.
