If it’s any consolation, mine decided to shred its driveshaft just before Xmas.
I was only pulling away gently from a junction when it went, but it’s the first major problem in over three years of ownership, and is probably the original and 60k miles old.
Ahh disaster! this is only the 2nd time in 7 years it's been on the back of an AA van - last time my rear brakes started leaking I think. So not bad really, gotta hand it the the AA guy though, he was a proper charachter. I think over an hour was him poking around the Megane and chatting about cars (sorry to anyone else that was waiting for a tow that night!).I was only pulling away gently from a junction when it went, but it’s the first major problem in over three years of ownership, and is probably the original and 60k miles old.

Any tips please? Got to do mine before I get back on track.
Don’t undo one calliper carrier bolt and remove it completely before loosening off the other bolt… or you might end up with an arch shaped cut on your head and an imprint of a carrier on your face Its pretty easy tbh, just need a 36mm socket for the nut holding the disc on. Big breaker bar for the carrier bolts.
Iirc, you need 13mm 15mm spanners and a E16 socket to remove the carrier
