Bill's tip is the best, so I wont add to it - except - listen for gearbox noises - have had two bearings go already!!!!

Can someone advise me on where can I find the rear axle of the 16v QV? Where is it more common?

And gone wrong on my 16v QV so far is:

(Don't read this if you want to buy one)

The engine, the gearbox synchromesh, the replacement engine (crap to start with - now have my refund!), the front passenger side suspension spring, the yellow bearings under the springs on the macpherson struts, the front brake discs & pads, the rear & a/roll bar bushes, 1 puncture and the passenger electric window wiring.

All in 4 months and 2000 miles. It's nearly fixed......

Well, you can expect knackered synchros.... other than that, the electrics are not perfect. Make sure the engine runs right when hot and cold, rain or shine.
