I think its the complete unit. The breakdown of work for the 225+vat labour
(5 hours at 45+vat ph) was to remove the prop shaft, drive shaft , axle
(presumably CV), sawp out diff, and then put it all back together again.

They seemed to take a while to work out a quote which I assume means they
dont usually do this kind of thing? Other garages with cheaper quotes
virtually gave me the quotes before I could finish asking the question.

I guess its one of those jobs that take much longer if you're not used to
doing it?
