You could always try asking a local scrap yard if they could help you out.

Look around for good local mechanics who have a knowledge of cheaper parts and may quote you a lesser price. Sometimes though these things just come and bite you on the arse and you. pretty much have to get on with it.

I know how you feel, it's rather down heartening...

Good luck.

What was the reason for taking off the prop?.or was it stolen?

Sounds about right for a propshaft, we were quoted £1500 for a Honda CRV. some years ago.

If they removed the a drive shaft to stop a noise, I suspect that the fault wasn't actually the drive shaft, I would guess that the faulty component would be what the shaft was connecting to ( maybe the rear differential?)

If it's the front propshaft that's gone they are about £350 to £400 to buy so I would have thought £500 all in.
