My xe has just inilliated the n/s inner
cv joint and today I've replaced it with a brand new one and after an hour it's killed this one?! Anyone know why it would keep doing it

Either weren't fitted properly (which is difficult to do) or they is so cheap they are made out of cheese.

Take em back I say.

They are fitted propely and I don't think they are cheap ones, should be £55 each..(got them cheaper on trade) I got all the others from the same place and there fine! It wouldn't be anything to do with the ride height would it? But I have seen other xe's low as mine!

How are you driving it? If you are using the throttle as an on/off switch, then you will get breaks. Even full throttle over a pot hole can do it. Have you got a slippy diff? That doesn't help either.

Just as an every day road car.. Not driving it like a looney! Surely there's something really wrong somewere for a new joint to go in a couple of hours? No slipping diff for all I know either.. I'm confused
